July is National Ice Cream Month! National Ice Cream Month, which was signed into public law by President Ronald Reagan on July 9, 1984, celebrates all things ice cream from the hard work of folks in the dairy industry to the dessert itself. As a way to celebrate our favorite sweet treat, the little macaroni created a NEW Ice Cream Bucket List for 2026.
HIs goal is to stop by and grab a treat from each of our locally-owned ice cream parlors by the end of the month. We all know a challenge is more fun when you do it with friends so we're challenging your family to join us too! Check out the 23 Bucket List below. Snap a pic of your family enjoying your sweet treats at any of the locations below and post them to your social media sites with the #MKIceCreamBucketList by August 6th. The little macaroni will randomly be picking a few of their favorite pics to win a special surprise! Winners will be announced on August 8th in our newsletter.
