Serving Publix's special flavors, ice-cream truck ends 10-city summer tour in West Palm

With South Florida's hottest season officially underway, nothing quite says summer like the ice cream truck.

A nostalgic symbol of our youth, they're a reminder of carefree days spent outdoors. For many of us, just the sound of an ice cream truck's familiar jingle can transport you to those times when the biggest worry was choosing between a Klondike, Choco Taco, or Bombpop.

If novelty ice cream isn't your thing, however, Publix is delivering a different option.

Every year, Publix releases a new line of limited ice cream flavors just in time to celebrate the official start of summer and national ice cream month in July. The new ice cream options are currently available in stores now through August 30, sold in half-gallon containers.

For the second year, the grocer also launched a Publix ice cream truck, which hits the streets in June, offering fans a sneak peek of the grocer's latest premium and limited-edition ice cream flavors.

That 10-city tour, will be capped right here in West Palm Beach.

On Sunday, July 7, the ice cream truck will pull into the Brightline Station in downtown and offer its limited-time ice creams alongside several longtime store brand flavors available by the scoop in a cup. At each stop, expect music, outdoor games, and a photo booth.

The Publix ice cream truck's summer road tour kicked-off in Nashville, Tennessee on June 19, and then made stops in Greenville, South Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia before making its way to Florida. It stopped in Jacksonville on June 27, Orlando, Lakeland and Tampa followed on consecutive days.

The tour will end in South Florida, where the truck will make its final two stops Saturday, July 6 and Sunday, July 7, in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach.

Whether you want something rich and sweet, or bright and refreshing, Publix's latest line offers a flavor for almost every taste.
