This Saturday in Union Square, Somerville we will participate in the Ice Cream Smackdown. This will not involve ultimate fighting or any member of the Gracie Family.

So instead, just head to Somerville on Saturday. EatBoston and Sugarbomber.com have put together an ice-cream smackdown at which local ice-cream makers will compete to see who has the best relief for the heat. The $2 suggested donation goes to a scholarship fund for an area high-school musician. It’s 3-6 p.m. in the Family Center parking lot next to Grand, 374 Somerville Ave. in Somerville. More info
