Summer's Last Chance for Free Gelato Pints at Millennium Park Happens Next Week

Talenti is handing out 20,000 pints of free gelato Tuesday in Chicago’s Millennium Park

Heads up, dessert lovers: You have one last chance to get a free pint of gelato at Millennium Park this summer.

Talenti once again will hand out 20,000 pints of free gelato at Millennium Park, this time on Tuesday, Aug. 15. 

Flavors will include Cinnamon Peach Biscuit, Vanilla Chai and Double Dark Chocolate, as well as Alphonso Mango Sorbetto for those seeking a dairy free option.

The promotion runs from noon until 9 p.m. or until gelato runs out. The line forms just west of the Jay Pritzker Pavilion -- and there likely will be a line.

A Talenti spokeswoman said that during previous giveaways the line started at noon and continued until the pints were gone after 8 p.m.

Earlier this summer, Talenti gave away thousands of pints during the park screenings of "La La Land and "Julie and Julia."

This time, a screening of the movie "Hidden Figures" starts at 6:30 p.m.
