Eat Ice Cream, Help Kids: 2020 Bigger Dipper Ice Cream Festival

The Seven Hills Foundation's ice cream festival raises money each summer for kids in the Worcester area.

WORCESTER, MA — Coronavirus won't be able to stop this local ice cream festival.

The Seven Hills Foundation's annual Big Dipper Ice Cream Festival is going virtual this year due to the pandemic, but the event will still be a treat for everyone.

Usually, the foundation holds an all-you-can eat ice cream event in Worcester. At last year's event, attendees paid $5 for an all-you-can-eat ice cream binge at Elm Park. This year, the festival will look a little different.

For every donation of $20 or more, Seven Hills will give out coupons to local ice cream shops in the Worcester area that can be used throughout until Labor Day. Donors will also be entered into a raffle to win prizes like gift certificates and sporting goods.

The Big Dipper Ice Cream Festival supports Children’s Friend, an affiliate of Seven Hills Foundation that provides a range of services to children and families in Worcester and beyond.
