When and Where is the Ice Cream Festival in Northern Colorado?

There is some great food to enjoy when summer comes around each year. Many enjoy grilling hamburgers and hot dogs when camping, having fun in the backyard, or when by the pool. Others enjoy going to a snow cone stand and getting some flavored ice to cool off on a warm summer day. Popsicles can be fun to have after a long day or around the pool as well, but perhaps the best summer treat is ice cream. Yes, it can be eaten anytime throughout the year, but it somehow tastes better in the summer. The Ice Cream Festival will be happening in Loveland this month, and you won't want to miss it this year.
