Everyone deserves a cold treat in the sweltering summer heat, and an iconic Texas creamery is going on tour to deliver free ice cream across Dallas-Fort Worth and North Texas for the rest of the summer.<\/p>\n

Texas’ beloved Blue Bell is celebrating 119 years with its new Lone Star Scoop Tour<\/a> stopping in local Texas communities all year long. A specially decorated Blue Bell ice cream truck and trailer will cruise across the state to give out free hand-dipped ice cream and frozen snacks, host giveaways, and offer special merchandise for sale.<\/p>\n

Since the tour’s debut in its hometown of Brenham in March 2026, Blue Bell has already made stops across Central Texas and Houston.<\/p>\n

Now, the Lone Star Scoop Tour will kick off its North Texas leg at the Benbrook Walmart (8840 Benbrook Blvd.) on Friday, July 10. It will continue to more than 60 different locations across the Metroplex over the next seven weeks, with a final stop at Market Street in Wichita Falls (4590 Kell W. Blvd.) on Friday, August 28.<\/p>\n

This leg of the tour also coincides with the launch of Blue Bell’s newest ice cream flavor \u2014 Chocolate Lava Cake<\/a> \u2014 released in commemoration of National Ice Cream Month in July. The limited-edition flavor combines the creamery’s classic vanilla ice cream with decadent pieces of chocolate cake, chocolate sundae sauce, and a picturesque swirl of dark chocolate fudge. The flavor will be available in half gallon and pint sizes for a limited time, Blue Bell says.<\/p>\n

New cities and dates will be added to the Texas-wide ice cream tour every month. Dates and times may change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, so check the website<\/a> for updates. <\/p>\n
