Melbourne's summer weather is in full swing, but the ice cream masters at Billy van Creamy are here to help you keep your cool no matter how high those temperatures soar. Not only have they opened the doors to a brand-new store on Sydney Road, but they're celebrating its launch by giving away a stack of free and cheap scoops this weekend.

To score yourself some complimentary all-natural ice cream, simply swing past the new Brunswick digs this Friday, February 12, between 5pm and 7pm. If you miss out, you can still get your ice cream fix on the cheap, with $2 scoops up for grabs from 7–10pm. Plus, there'll be even more $2 scoops on offer from 12–10pm on Saturday, February 13, and again on Sunday, February 14.

If you don't already know Billy van Creamy from its roving ice cream truck and events cart, or the OG Fitzroy North store, now's the perfect chance to get acquainted. All that's left to do is choose a flavour — will it be a core classic, or a special edition like vegan mocha with almond brittle, or salted mango swirl?

Billy van Creamy is giving away free scoops from 5–7pm on Friday, February 12 and $2 scoops from 12–10pm on Saturday, February 13 and Sunday, February 14.
