A general admission ticket gets you 10, 1 oz samples from any of the participating vendors. This is about 2 1/2 scoops of ice cream. You can share your samples with your children or get them their own ticket if you want to enjoy all the ice cream for yourself.

We will be providing one tasting card per ticket purchased. You will need to provide this card to each of the ice cream vendors you visit in order to receive a sample. They'll check off this card after you have been given your sample. Tickets can be purchased on our website http://scoopsandiego.org

Please visit our registration booth when you arrive at the festival. Our volunteer team will get you checked-in and will provide you with your tasting ticket. Staff will be at this booth throughout the event provide assistance.

We recommend using the multi-level parking structure located on 3829 29th street. It’s right next to where the festival will be so you cannot miss it! Second option is to park on the street at the nearby residential areas that are in walking distance to the festival.
