There’s really no better place to enjoy your summer than in Arkansas. From lazy floats along the river to beaches with white sand, the Natural State can certainly provide a fun adventure for anyone on vacation. In addition to the gorgeous places to stay, our state also has plenty of summer activities to keep the family busy as well. Today’s featured event is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Let’s all scream for this upcoming ice cream festival!

Eating Yarnell ice cream is just as much an Arkansas tradition as calling the hogs.

The upcoming farmers market in Bentonville will be even sweeter than usual.

Facebook/Yarnell’s Ice Cream Yarnell will be hosting an ice cream festival in conjunction with the farmers market on July 20th, 2019. Festivities will begin at 9 am.

The best part of this little festival will be all of the free ice cream.

Facebook/Yarnell’s Ice Cream Free samples will be given out at the Yarnell concession trailer until noon (or until supplies run out). The normal activities of the farmers market will also be going on so you’ll be able to listen to live music and peruse all of the local vendors as well.

You’ll also be able to prove your ice cream dedication by taking part of the ice cream eating contest.

Facebook/Yarnell’s Ice Cream Four competitions will be happening at the ice cream fest; two for adults and two for children. The goal will be to eat as much ice cream as possible in five minutes.

If you can tough out the brain freezes you could win big!
