"Our competing chefs have whipped up original gelato recipes especially for the tournament, and you can cast your vote for your favorite flavor," the International Gelato Festival wrote on its website. "You'll get the full rundown on each gelato—the ingredients, the production process, and the story behind the finished product—plus, you can sample other products from our partners and sponsors. Stay until the end to find out who takes the title and gets to represent North America at the World Finals in 2026!"
That's right, the Los Angeles event is the North American finals, which means you can help choose who represents the continent during the Gelato Festival World Masters' 2026 Grand Finale.
This year's competitors hail from Pittsburgh to Plano, Canada to Cincinnati: Mohammad Alqawasmi (Bazaria), Lauren Brock (Butterfat Gelato), Maria Liliana Biondo (uGOgelato), Golan Chetrit (Noi Due Gelato), James Coleridge (Gelato by James), Juan Antonio Coyoli Maciel (Super Creamy), Francia Michelle Magsaysay (Francy's Artisanal Ice Cream), Stefania Pede (Cocoa 40 Inc.), Tassia Vicentin Rezende (Tre Cuori Gelateria & Açai) and Melanie Wolf (Pompelmo Gelateria). The victor will have the chance to compete at the 11th Gelato World Cup in January.
But there's more to it than just spooning—the two-day event in Los Angeles includes panels on making desserts into a business, an eating contest that dares competitors to fight through brain freeze, and desserts from chefs at The Little Door, TAO and more.
Tickets start at $27.25 and include samples from Joy Gelato and the Gelato Festival product line. But if you want to vote, you'll need an add-on tasting pass. And this is a timed-entry event, with 10am-1pm, 1-4pm and 4-6pm slots. Click here to buy your pass.

Liam Gallagher's one word for Edinburgh Council at final Oasis gig at Murrayfield
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Liam Gallagher had one last statement for Edinburgh Council before wrapping up the third night of Oasis at Murrayfield. The 52-year-old was left 'raging' after fans of the band were labelled 'drunk, fat and old' in a leaked briefing. Across all three gigs and on social media, Liam made his feelings known, reports the Daily Record. On Tuesday night, Liam slammed the council chiefs for a third time, calling them 'ugly'. He added: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid. "You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates. "Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****". This comes after the singer demanded an apology in a sweary rant at their first night at Murrayfield Stadium on Friday and called council chiefs "f****** slags". Then at Saturday's show, the Rock 'n' Roll star targeted the local authority again, saying they have "the cheek" to make comments about his fans. Back in June, one note from the council's briefing documents showed officials warning that "middle-aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy".

One document also suggested there would be "medium to high intoxication" at the concert, and to expect a "substantial amount of older fans", but added there had been "minimal arrests" at recent events involving either of the Gallagher brothers. Oasis didn't take the comments lightly, with Liam saying at the time: "To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot." Around 67,000 people packed out the venue this evening in what some might say was a "biblical" and "truly magical" gig, with over 200,000 attending all three shows in total. Britpop act Cast from Liverpool and rocker Richard Ashcroft dazzled fans as Oasis' support acts before the Mancunian brothers took to the stage each night.

Liam Gallagher attacks Edinburgh Council chiefs during Oasis final Murrayfield gig
Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher has branded Edinburgh Council chiefs as "ugly" during the band's final Murrayfield show. Liam Gallagher has unleashed his third and fiercest attack on Edinburgh Council during Oasis' final night of their comeback gigs at Murrayfield. The 52-year-old rocker was left raging after council bosses labelled Oasis concert-goers as "drunk", "fat" and "old" in secret safety briefings. Officials claimed the majority of the 200,000 fans attending the reunion shows across the three days were 'rowdy' 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room' and will drink to 'medium to high intoxication'. Today, Liam slammed the council chiefs for a third time, saying: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid.
