Let’s celebrate summer by trying new ice cream, gelato, & custard flavors and making new friends as we explore Old Town in curated groups!

Join us for a sweet summer evening exploring the best frozen treats in Old Town, Alexandria, the 2024 Ice Cream Capital of the US while making new friends!

Whether you’re looking to expand your social circle, meet someone special, or simply enjoy great conversation over ice cream, this event is for you.

Our starting point is Casa Rosada Artisan Gelato, a shop owned and run by Jewish Argentinians!

We’ll begin with fun icebreakers and divide into small curated groups of 6–8 people based on ages and interests. Together, you’ll stroll through Old Town, stopping at several local ice cream and gelato shops. At each stop you’ll complete a fun ice cream themed challenge, vote on your favorite shops and meet new people as we rotate groups.

Along the way you’ll:

🍨 Sample ice cream, gelato, frozen custard, and other sweet treats (pay on your own for treats)
💬 Enjoy meaningful conversation prompts/activites that go beyond small talk
🏆 Vote for the “Best Scoop in Old Town”
📸 Take fun group photos at each stop & earn prizes
🤝 Meet 20–30 new people throughout the evening through rotating groups

The evening will finish at the waterfront for sunset, group photos, and optional hang out after nearby.
