Organized by the Association of Artisanal Ice Cream and Related Manufacturers (AFADHYA), solidarity actions are carried out and ice cream is delivered to different health institutions and foundations: the Los Piletones soup kitchen, the Casa del Teatro, the Natalí Flexer Foundation and the Casa Garrahan Foundation.

Two new tastes

You already know that every year Ice Cream Night comes with surprises. In the 2024 edition, two new flavors are being released: “Citrus Symphony” and “Imperial Cake.”

The first is a refreshing fruity mix that combines oranges, lemons and tangerines. The second, an irresistible option inspired by the traditional Argentine dessert, notable for its chantilly cream and meringue, sprinkled with dulce de leche, meringues, pionono and chestnuts in syrup.

Recognition for ice cream shops

In addition, to celebrate the 4 decades of the Authentic Artisanal Ice Cream Week, AFADHYA decided to recognize ice cream shops that have more than 60 years of experience.

In our city, two establishments will be honoured: Saverio Helados and Napoli. Congratulations to them!

It also has great moments of comedy (the voices include John Candy, Harold Ramis and Eugene Levy, comedy masters; it is not for nothing that the film was produced by Ivan Reitman and the satirical magazine National Lampoon) and a rock soundtrack that includes Blue Oyster Club, Nazareth, Stevie Nicks, Black Sabbath, Cheap Trick and Devo, among others.

Admission is free for Argentine residents. Reservations at Entradas BA . Subject to room capacity. Only suitable for those over 13 years of age.
