Cool off this Labor Day weekend at the Gelato Festival World Masters, which gathers 10 of the most talented gelato chefs from across the country to compete with custom flavors at Ovation Hollywood. Swing by from 10am to 7pm on August 30 and 31 to taste gelato made fresh on-site in the world’s largest mobile frozen dessert laboratory. Every ticket-holding guest gets the opportunity to participate in all festival programming, including tastings, gelato-making demos and games for the whole family—though you’ll have to pay extra to taste the competition flavors and vote for your favorite. The gelato artisan with the most votes wins a medal and continues the journey toward the industry’s ultimate stage, next year’s World Finals.
