The City of Citrus Heights is hosting its final neighborhood ice cream social of the summer on Thursday, Aug. 8, at Lichen K-8.
This summer, City Scoop took place at Sylvan Oaks Library on June 6, and drew roughly twice as many residents as last year, according to the city’s social media page.
A second ice cream social scheduled for July 11 at Metro Fire Station 27 was canceled because of extreme heat.
The final event will take place at Lichen K-8 from 6:30 to 8 p.m., with Leatherby’s Family Creamery slated to serve ice cream. The school is located at 8319 Lichen Drive.
The monthly ice cream social events are designed to encourage and facilitate community gatherings among neighbors, city staff, and other community members, according to the city’s website.
In 2023, the inaugural City Scoop summer series featured ice cream socials throughout the summer at various locations in Citrus Heights, including Greenback Greenspace, Sylvan Community Center, and Westwood Park.
