Ice cream social
An ice cream social (also known as an ice cream party) is a community event where participants gather to enjoy ice cream, often with a variety of flavors and toppings such as syrups, whipped cream, and sprinkles for guests to choose from. Such events often allow guests to make their own custom desserts or request specific ingredients from those serving them.[1]
History
[edit]Ice cream was traditionally served in establishments called ice cream gardens, which were popular in the 19th century. As ice cream became more affordable in the 1800s, community organizations such as schools and churches began hosting ice cream socials modeled after these ice cream gardens.[2]
The world's largest ice cream social was held by Algida on January 30, 2019, in Salerno, Italy, and included 962 people.[3]
