National Ice Cream Day is Sunday, and D.C. area scoop shops are celebrating with freebies, specials and World Cup parties.
Why it matters: We don't usually celebrate faux food holidays, but Ice Cream Day is legit — thanks, President Reagan — and full of sweet treats.
🍨 Yala(Georgetown) is turning Sunday's World Cup final into an all-day ice cream party, with country-inspired flavors like Argentina's dulce de leche and Spain's Basque cheesecake, giveaways and a fundraiser benefiting DC Scores.
🍯 Jeni's is giving customers free fudge or caramel sauces with any scoop shop order on Sunday.
🚇 Metrobar(Brightwood) is pairing the World Cup final with ice cream and cocktails during Sunday's watch party.
🎁 Sarah's Handmade Ice Cream (MoCo) is offering a $10 bonus e-gift card with every $50 gift card purchase through Sunday.
🍫 And next week: Dolcezza is marking 22 years with free scoops of its limited-edition Chocotorta gelato, Tuesday from 5-7pm, at all locations except the Hirshhorn.
