Fried Caramel Ice Cream from Mi Familia Mexican Restaurant
5125 Clinton Ave., Kokomo, IN 46092 | (765)453-2070
We shared this classic dessert at Mi Familia as an after school snack. I remember having fried ice cream as a kid and thinking it was such a unique and yummy treat. This was their first time trying it, and while they requested I eat the cherry on top, the rest quickly disappeared. They loved the flavor of the ice cream and the crunchy shell. It’s difficult to summon the willpower to not fill up on chips and salsa, but if you haven’t enjoyed a dessert from Mi Familia lately, definitely leave room to share some fried caramel ice cream with your family soon. Mi Familia has a large party room for groups, has their patio seating open, and prepares orders for carryout as well.

Kokomo Kids Play
Riverwalk Concert Series
6 p.m. Aug. 17 at the Kokomo Riverwalk Pavilion
This weekend welcomes back the Riverwalk Concert Series, a fun and family-friendly event down by the Wildcat Creek. The series includes five Saturday nights of fun, food, and music. This Saturday, Aug. 17, will feature Aaron Kamm & the One Drops with special guest Fresh Hops. We’ve enjoyed taking our whole family for a picnic style dinner while dancing and enjoying the music. Our young kids usually don’t make it longer than the opening band, but we’re happy to get out as a family and experience the atmosphere. In addition to the music, the concert series will feature booths of local artists and The Coterie serving up the food. We typically grab food or snacks for the kids and then splurge on burgers for the adults. You can learn more about the Riverwalk Concert series and find the full schedule in this article.
