After eight European tours, the festival — which is dedicated to artisanal Italian gelato — travels back to Tucson. Gelato Festival America is making its final stop in the U.S. and setting up shop at La Encantada from noon – 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 27 and Sunday, October 28.

The festival gives everyone the opportunity to learn the secrets of high-quality gelato, watch production techniques, taste all of the competing flavors, and then vote for the gelato that strikes your fancy. There is also going to be a “Gelato School” with cooking demonstrations and activities for both adults and kids.
