Don’t let cooling temps freeze the fun — there are plenty of ways to make the most of your last few sunny weeks before fall.

Square Scoop is named after its location, not the shape of its scoops — and its flavors are anything but square.

We’re officially less than one month away from the start of fall — what are you doing to savor the last days of summer?

With Indy’s outdoor venues, water spots, ice cream shops + warm weather activities, anything is popsicle, err — possible. Put on some sunglasses and start crossing things off on our top 10 end-of-summer activities list.

  1. Stop by one of Indy’s many ice cream shops for a scoop (or three).
  2. Have a picnic with these pro tips.
  3. Sun’s out, buns out. Enjoy the unofficial dish of summer — hot dogs.
  4. Grab a cozy blanket and head to the countryside to see some stars.
  5. Soak up the rest of patio season before the space heaters come out.
  6. Put some time on the calendar for a date night with your new fling, your longtime love, or yourself (you deserve it).
  7. Watch a movie from the comfort of your car at Tibbs Drive-In Theatre or surrounded by chef’s kiss-worthy food at “Movies at Midtown.”
  8. Work outside and enjoy the fresh air before it gets too chilly.
  9. Kayak, canoe, or paddle board around the Circle City.
  10. Pay a visit or snag a ticket to one of these top seasonal adventures, including fairs, festivals, concerts, and sporting events.

What’s the must-do thing on your end of summer bucket list? Let us know so we don’t end up with FOMO (aka fear of missing out).
