Ice cream lovers, mark your calendars!
Ice cream season is about to begin in the most magical way possible.
Kicking off the Victoria Day long weekend on May 17, 2025, the historic Casa Loma will host the first-ever Chapman’s Ice Cream Festival, turning Toronto’s famous castle into a wonderland of frozen delights.
Running from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., the droolworthy event will celebrate all things ice cream, featuring Chapman’s beloved luxury ice cream flavours, newly launched flavours for 2025, and ice cream themed entertainment including games and contests for people of all ages.
The event will also feature the Chapman’s Showcase, an interactive exhibit highlighting the history of Canada’s most beloved ice cream brand. Attendees can enjoy exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses at how Chapman’s ice cream is made, along with rare props and costumes perfect for unique photo opportunities.
The evening will be capped off with the highly anticipated opening performance of Symphony in the Gardens on the Chapman’s Stage, blending sweet tastes with beautiful music in a truly unforgettable setting with gorgeous views of the Toronto skyline from Casa Loma’s scenic gardens.
And for the best part? Your admission includes free Chapman’s ice cream, with a focus on their new Super Premium Plus collection—crafted to showcase the very best in indulgent flavour.
