National Ice Cream Day is Sunday July 19 and River City Company is once again inviting the community to enjoy cool treats all weekend long with the fifth annual Downtown Chattanooga Ice Cream Crawl.
Starting on Friday July 17th, people can enjoy ice cream, special menu items, and unique flavors in shops and restaurants across Downtown Chattanooga. People who visit participating locations can also enter to win a $100 Chattanooga Express Card and ice cream prize packages.
Participating locations include:

"We're thrilled to celebrate National Ice Cream Day with the sweetest event of the summer,” said Sharika Wilson, Owner of Scoop Around Ice Cream Bar. “As Chattanooga's newest downtown ice cream destination, we can't wait to welcome families, friends, and visitors to experience our over-the-top creations and make delicious memories together. Get ready for smiles, sprinkles, and a whole lot of ice cream!"
Select locations will be featuring special or limited-time flavors.

Clumpies and Milk & Honey are showcasing their special summer menus, and Cold Stone Creamery has special limited-time flavors like Supergirl’s Cosmic Kettle Corn Creation.
