Ice Cream Truck Live was launched in 2020 to provide local music artists with a platform during the pandemic. It continues to build a community advocating for diverse and underrepresented local artists and giving them opportunities to perform at events such as the All Flavours Served Summer Pop-Up Concert Series and Connect X-Mas Market & Music Festival.
