Celebrate summer spirit with giant sand sculptures
This is the perfect weekend to head to Peddler’s Village in Lahaska and see the amazing sand sculptures on display through August 31. The village’s free “Summer In Sand” exhibit features five sculptures that celebrate popular ways of “chilling” and having fun in the summer: camping, playing games and solving puzzles; traveling to special places like the Amalfi Coast in Italy; watching baseball and hanging out on the beach (with Santa); and tasty treats. With its charming colonial-style buildings, award-winning gardens and distinctive shopping, dining and lodging options, the fairytale-like Peddler’s Village is the ultimate Bucks County vacation destination.
