National Ice Cream Month is held in each year in July in the United States. Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month in 1984. He also named the third Sunday in July as National Ice Cream Day. Reagan recognized the popularity of ice cream in the United States (90% of the nation's population consumes ice cream) and stated that these two events should be observed with "appropriate ceremonies and activities."
While vanilla still reigns supreme as the most popular ice cream flavor, the public has scores of different flavors to choose among. All month long ice cream lovers can sample the different tastes and textures of this delicious treat.
