Sunday, July 20, 2025, Rolling Monkey hosted its 7th annual Rollapalooza, celebrating National Ice Cream Day in true Statesboro style — with creativity, connection, and plenty of rolled ice cream magic.
Families, students, and ice cream lovers of all ages came out to enjoy face painting, trivia, Ava's Lemonade Stand, mascot race, classic cars, water slides, giveaways, and a chance to win free ice cream for a year — all while savoring Rolling Monkey’s signature made-to-order rolled creations, vegan-friendly options, and relaxing in the shop’s iconic swinging chairs.
Each summer, Rollapalooza grows as one of Statesboro’s most beloved traditions — showing how dessert, fun, and community go hand-in-hand.
Experience Rollapalooza with Edie Grice
Come with me (in the video below) to celebrate National Ice Cream Day at Rolling Monkey here in Statesboro, GA — where they turn summer into a party every year with their iconic Rollapalooza.
From the moment I arrived, the energy was high — kids (and adults!) flying down the water slide, families playing trivia, and the cutest face painting and Ava's lemonade stand.
Inside was packed with folks swinging in the chairs, watching their rolled ice cream being made to order (vegan options too) and soaking in the vibes.
Then came the mascot race — so much fun to watch everyone cheering — and this year’s winner? Wolfy from Bible Baptist Christian Academy!
Of course, I had to cool off with Ava’s lemonade before heading out. Rolling Monkey really makes National Ice Cream Day feel like more than just a dessert — it’s a whole memory.
And don’t forget — Rolling Monkey will announce the free ice cream for a year giveaway winners this Thursday, July 24.
Huge thanks to Megan & Garrett Clark, not just for hosting such an incredible event every year but for being loyal Grice Connect sponsors and always showing up for our community. Y’all make Statesboro sweeter every summer!
