BEN & JERRY’S TENTH ANNUAL ONE WORLD ONE HEART® FESTIVAL

SOUTH BURLINGTON, VT --If it’s not fun, why do it? That’s been Jerry’s mantra for years--and the folks at Ben & Jerry’s have the party to prove it. For the tenth year, Ben & Jerry’s has raised the roof and ushered in summer with its One World One Heart Festival.

The Ben & Jerry’s One World One Heart Festival is a chance to celebrate, learn more, listen to great music, get involved, and it is a great excuse to try some new Ben & Jerry’s flavors along with your old favorites. Make your own Brown Bag Crown, register to vote, experience a Rain Room, get creative with Wild Wikki Stix, and check out Ben & Jerry’s very own seven story tall hot air balloon (on hiatus from Ben & Jerry’s Stop & Taste the Ice Cream summer long tour)! See it all from a chair lift ride and then try the delicious fare from local food vendors. Send a postcard at the Ice Cream Action tent and your ice cream is on the house!

Free admission*, free music and free ice cream, what more could you want?
