This family-friendly event features unlimited ice cream sampling from regional favorites, children’s activities, entertainment, and the chance to vote for your favorite frozen treats—all while supporting educational and leadership programs in Franklin County.
Attendees can enjoy ice cream from area vendors and vote for their favorite flavors. Thank you to Leota’s, The Meadows Frozen Custard, Rita’s, South Mountain Creamery, Penn State Creamery Ice Cream, and Hershey’s Ice Cream donated by Johnnies Restaurant Supply for participating in Scoop 2026.
Kids won’t want to miss the ACNB Bank “Scoop Scientists” Kitchen, where children ages 10 and under can make their own ice cream during hands-on sessions at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. Additional attractions include Maggie the Clown, face painting, the Franklin County Library System Bookmobile, family-friendly vendors, and a Kids Activity area.
The popular Human Sundae Event returns at 1 p.m., when lucky attendees will be selected to transform ACNB Bank’s Duane Bock into a giant human sundae.
Advance tickets are available at discounted prices through July 9 and are strongly encouraged. Adult tickets are $7, children’s tickets (ages 2-12) are $4, and children under 2 are free. Ticket prices increase on event day.
