The Le Mars Area Chamber of Commerce Ice Cream Days Committee would like
to inform you of our 2021 plans for a vendor event. The festival will run
Wednesday, June 16 to Saturday, June 19, 2021 with Saturday, June 19 the day
that vendors are featured in downtown Le Mars. This year we are
consolidating many of the ICD festival events and activities to our
downtown. The City of Le Mars completely renovated the Olson Cultural Event
Center into a green space with wonderful seating, gazebos, flower beds, etc.
Three streets surrounding the event center will be closed off allowing all vendor
participants to be in this location. We hope you will choose to be a part of the
2021 Ice Cream Days Festival.
This year, the parade will be Saturday, June 19. The parade will once again line
up on Stadium Drive, near the Le Mars Community High School. The Parade
will travel along Central Avenue starting at 8th Street South and continuing to 6th
Street North, then East on 6th Street to the Fairgrounds.
