The Le Mars Area Chamber of Commerce Ice Cream Days Committee would like
to inform you of our 2020 plans for a vendor event. The festival will run
Wednesday, June 17 to Sunday, June 21, 2020 with Saturday, June 20 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. This past year 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 2020 Ice Cream Days Festival.
This year, the parade will be Saturday, June 20. 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.
