The Town Center at Levis Commons turns into a beach July 13-15, 2012, for the second annual Sand-Tastic! Summer Festival.
Visitors can partake in live music, sand carving, inflatables, face painting, chalk art and other summer activities at the three-day funfest.
“Sand-Tastic! will offer fun for people of all ages. Kids will love the giant sandbox and clowns, while adults can unwind to the sounds of live music,” said Casey Pogan, marketing director for The Town Center at Levis Commons, in a news release. “The festival also showcases the talents of one of our area’s most accomplished sculptors, and allows amateurs to try their hand at sand carving too.”
Sculptor Chad Hartson and his team from Ice Creations plan to construct four 8-ton sand sculptures on patio areas around the center. Hartson and his team members will also present throughout Sand-Tastic! To try their own hand at sand art, eventgoers can play in a sandbox complete with shovels, pails and other tools.
