The Atlanta Ice Cream Festival is celebrating its 6th year at Atlanta's historical Piedmont Park near the Meadows on Saturday, July 23, 2016 from 11am-6pm. The Festival, which started with a small amount of vendors and a big dream by Executive Director Kevin James, this year has grown with numerous vendors, wonderful sponsors, and a boat load of fun activities. "Our exciting partnership with the Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority promises to make this year's festival an event not to be missed!" says James. "We want everyone to enjoy eating ice cream but we also want to improve the quality of lives and educate people in sustaining a healthy lifestyle. Since FDHA promotes the health of the greater Atlantacommunity, they will help bring a healthy balance to the festival."

One of the exciting changes this year is the launch of the redesigned website, www.atlantaicecreamfestival.comwhich provides visitors and potential vendors and sponsors with even more relevant and easy-to-find information and resources on the festival.

"Our website is our storefront and is an important way for us to share information with our audience" states James. "The redesigned website has a new look and improved functionality to ensure an easier and more engaging experience for our users."

In addition to the relaunched website, AICF believes that it is vital to support the Atlanta community and this year have reinvigorated the slogan "Get The Scoop On Atlanta And Wellness" by showcasing various Atlantavendors such as Sno Bayou Snowballs, Rita's Italian Ice and Frozen Custard and Jake's Handcrafted Ice Cream. Returning festival favorite such as Bruster's Real Ice Cream will be playing a dual role this year as vendor and sponsor of the crowd loving Ice Cream Competition.
