🍦 Scoops, Stars & Celebration: Kiowa's 50th Annual Ice Cream Social & Commemorative Drone Show 🎆
Join us on Saturday, August 1, at the Elbert County Fairgrounds for one of Kiowa's most beloved traditions—the 50th Annual Ice Cream Social! This year's celebration is bigger than ever as we commemorate two historic milestones: the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 150th anniversary of Colorado.
For five decades, the Ice Cream Social has brought together families, friends, neighbors, and visitors to celebrate community, connection, and hometown pride. This special anniversary event promises a full day of fun, entertainment, and memorable experiences for all ages.
Enjoy free ice cream while supplies last, browse local vendors and community exhibits, and savor a variety of food and refreshments from participating food trucks and concessionaires. Families can enjoy activities throughout the day, including games, interactive exhibits, and opportunities to connect with local organizations and businesses that help make our community strong.
Relax and enjoy live music as talented performers provide the soundtrack for this milestone celebration. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets, spend time with friends and neighbors, and experience the welcoming small-town atmosphere that has made the Ice Cream Social a treasured tradition for generations.
As the sun sets, prepare for an unforgettable finale. The evening will culminate with the Scoops, Stars & Celebration Commemorative Drone Show, a breathtaking aerial display honoring 250 years of America and 150 years of Colorado. Hundreds of illuminated drones will light up the night sky with patriotic imagery, Colorado-themed designs, and tributes to our shared history, creating a one-of-a-kind visual experience for attendees of all ages.
The Town of Kiowa is proud to partner with the Town of Elizabeth, local businesses, community organizations, volunteers, and sponsors to bring this extraordinary celebration to life. Together, we are honoring our past, celebrating our present, and looking toward a bright future for our communities.
Whether you're a longtime resident, a former community member returning home, or a first-time visitor, we invite you to join us for this historic event.
