Leopold's 98th Annual Birthday Block Party - Saturday, August 19th

Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Thursday, August 17th, 2017

The Birthday Cake ice cream has been filled with rainbow sprinkles, the dance troupes are ready, the Savannah Children’s Choir is in tune and the DIRTT Kids’ Zone is stocked with free fun. That can only mean one thing … Birthday Block Party time at Leopold’s Ice Cream!

Come help us celebrate 98 years of Tasty Memories! Join us at 212 East Broughton Street for music, games, contests (a chance to win a year of free ice cream in our photo booth!) and dancing in the street. In recognition of our 98 years of business, and as a way to thank Savannah and our surrounding communities for their long and loyal support, Leopold's will offer ninety-eight cent single scoops all day. The party starts at 11am and continues until 7pm with live music and a Dixieland Cruisers classic car show to round out the day.

This year’s DIRTT Kids’ Zone will feature free arts, crafts, face painting and games.  The Live Oak Public Libraries will be on hand with great activities and Oatland Island will be bringing some of their animals to visit. We'll need kids (young and young at heart) to help us blow out the candles and cut our birthday cake at 3 p.m. in front of the shop.

Free and fun for the entire family!
