The inaugural Florida Ice Cream Festival presented by Magnify Credit Union was an original, old-fashioned neighborhood event held at the legendary Joker Marchant Stadium at Tiger Town. Almost 30,000 people traveled from around the state to taste delicious ice cream and enjoy the family entertainment and live music. Attendees participated in activities such as miniature golf, pony rides, home-churned ice cream contests, field games, popsicle stick building, and themed art walls. Two ice cream eating competitions, celebrity and first responders, were the undercard events prior to the MLE World Ice Cream Eating Championship won by Joey Chestnut!
