City of El Centro to host Ice Cream Social next month
EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The City of El Centro is bringing back a tradition after being on hiatus for over a decade.
The Ice Cream Social and Rain on Main is returning on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., in Downtown Town Square.
The event was said to have shut down for the past 10 years due to water droughts. However, El Centro Mayor Sonia Carter decided to bring it back for this year.
The event will feature live music, food vendors, a kids zone and a beer garden.
Different ice cream vendors will be handing out free ice cream and the El Centro Fire Department will make it rain on Main Street with a water hose.
"We had this event looking back over 10 years ago and one of the reasons why we stopped having it was because of the water drought restrictions but now that the drought was been declared over we can have an event like this one...bring back a lot of the family fun joy that we used to have," said Adriana Nava, Community Services Director for the City of El Centro.
Mayor Carter will also be there to talk and listen to concerns and ideas from the community.
