June Holidays

June Holidays

Find a reason to celebrate with friends at your Port Landing at Fife Apartment this month. June is full of fun holidays including National Doughnut Day (June 2), National Chocolate Ice Cream Day (June 7th), and Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month. Use these holidays as an excuse to get together with friends and enjoy some great food and treats.

 

National Doughnut Day (June 2nd)

There’s nothing better than a fresh doughnut, so take advantage of this day! We recommend trying out Helen’s Donuts & Ice Cream. It’s a little bit of a drive, but well worth your time. One local said:

 

“Great service, very fast and efficient. And best of all, great donuts! They even threw in donut holes. This place is an awesome local staple.” - Tofunmi O.

 

Locals rave about this place! Stop in this week and try it out for yourself.

 

Chocolate Ice Cream Day (June 7th)

Treat yourself on June 7th by visiting a local ice cream shop and indulging in a delicious ice cream scoop (or scoops!). Try out Ice Cream Social in Tacoma. They have classic and unique flavors. One reviewer said:

 

“...This place has [the] best ice cream. It's addicting. I recommend trying the salted caramel and the lavender ice creams. Once you have their ice cream, it's hard to enjoy manufactured store bought ice cream. All of their ice cream is [handmade] in [downtown] Tacoma by the owner and her staff...” - Mel Dray

 

Maybe it’s a good day to try out making your own homemade ice cream! Try out this recipe: Triple Chocolate Rocky Road Ice Cream from Carlsbad Cravings. It doesn’t even require an ice cream maker!

 

Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month

This is the perfect month for fresh fruit and vegetables. Check out the Fife Farmers Market here in Fife, WA this month to find fresh produce. Their opening day is June 16th. Invite friends and enjoy the live music and the variety of vendors. They’re open from 3 PM-7 PM each Friday until the end of August.
