Old Town Fort Collins · 223 Linden St

Opening day in Old Town.

July 2026 — ribbons on the door, a line down Linden Street.

When the Glacier Old Town Ice Cream Parlor celebrated its opening, the neighborhood showed up: balloons, first cones, and a whole lot of familiar faces. Here's how the day looked.
