Penn State’s Berkey Creamery newest flavor celebrates the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, and you won’t need to wait until the festival to try it for free
Festival Fudge is vanilla ice cream with a raspberry swirl and chunks of chocolate fudge. Arts Festival staff and volunteers will be serving dishes of the new flavor from 5 to 7 p.m. on July 1 outside Schlow Centre Region Library as part of Downtown State College’s First Friday.
“Since it’s been two years since we’ve had a real live festival, we thought our audience might need a little practice enjoying Creamery ice cream” Rick Bryant, the festival’s executive director, said in a statement. “We thought a free dish of Festival Fudge would be a good way to remind folks that the Festival is just around the corner.”
Along with the free ice cream, prints of the annual festival poster, designed by Saige and Lanny Sommese, also will be available at the pop-up stand at the corner of South Allen Street and East Beaver Avenue.
Festival Fudge will be available for purchase by the cone, dish or half gallon throughout July at Berkey Creamery.
It also will be available at the Creamery stand along the Allen Mall on campus during the festival, which is set to take place July 13-17.
