This summer, beat the heat in the coolest way possible—with free ice cream and inspiring public art! The ¡Sombra! à la Mode Ice Cream Truck Tour is rolling into parks across Phoenix, inviting the community to explore the ¡Sombra! Experiments in Shade installations while enjoying a complimentary frozen treat from Leo’s Ice Cream Truck.

At each stop, visitors can grab a free ice cream, explore striking shade structures created by nine local and national artists, and snap a photo under their inventive canopies. Post your pic on social media with #sombraphx for a chance to win an exclusive Sombra Prize Pack—featuring cooling merch and a limited-edition artist-designed umbrella.

The ¡Sombra! Experiments in Shade installations are on view for a limited time, now extended through October 31, 2025—so don’t miss your chance to see them!
