The Mount Dora Ice Cream Stroll is back — and bigger than ever.

Join us Sunday, April 12 from 3:00–5:00 PM as historic downtown Mount Dora transforms into a self-guided ice cream tasting tour featuring 25 flavors served at 25 local businesses across downtown.

For the first time, this year’s stroll features three ice cream partners bringing an incredible variety of flavors to the event:
