Prepare Yourself: Moscow Ice cream Festival 2016

Prepare Yourself: Moscow Ice cream Festival 2016

This summer is the 20^th anniversary of the annual Moscow Ice Cream Festival, which lasts until July 10th.

 It is taking place in 32 locations across Moscow (mainly in the parks). This means there’s no excuse to miss out on some great quality ice cream.  The enormous variety means there’s bound to be something to meet your taste and dietary requirements. You can buy vegan desserts at Kuznetsky Most Ulitsa (Кузнецкий Мост), Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Площадь Революции) and Bolotnaya Ploshchad (Болотная площадь).

There’s even a chance to try more unusual flavours. At Tverskaya Ploshchad (Тверская площадь) and Teatralnaya Ploshchad  (Театральная площадь) you’ll find ice cream stuffed with mashed potatoes, onion, or ice cream with fried bacon! Feeling creative? There are also opportunities to create your own ice cream too.

The prices are good too, and vary depending on your choice. A waffle cone will cost from 80 to 240 roubles, depending on the type.

Enjoy!
