Free Gelato on the Green

Overview

It has been eight years since La Macelleria set up shop in Brisbane, gifting the city's residents with an array of inventive gelato and sorbet flavours. During that time, it has taught ice cream lovers how to make their own, served up all-you-can-eat sweet treats and expanded its footprint, including by nestling into Coorparoo Square. Indeed, that's the place to head to on Sunday, July 10 if you like the best kind of gelato there is — which is free gelato, obviously.

From 12–3pm, La Macelleria is busting out its gelato cart, setting up in the centre's green space and scooping up freebies — 100 to be exact. That makes it a first-in-first-served kind of event, with only one scoop on offer per person until sold out.

Yes, we know it's winter. Yes, we also know that it's never too cold for gelato in Brisbane anyway, let alone free gelato.

Leave your wallet at home, get licking and, while you're enjoying a frosty sweet treat, there'll be live tunes as well, all as part of an event that the centre is calling Free Gelato on the Green.
