Peddler’s Village is preparing for the annual return of PEEPS in the Village, a popular contest and display that is now in its fourth year.
Last year, the colorful event included more than 100 “marshmallow masterpieces” – dioramas, sculptures, and 2-D wall art—submitted by local individuals and organizations.
This year, as in the past, the public is encouraged to enter the contest and compete in three categories for cash prizes totaling more than $1,800. The winners will be determined by Peddler’s Village visitors, who vote on their favorites while on-site through the Peddler’s Village mobile app or by paper ballot. The display begins Monday, March 13, and will continue through Sunday, April 23; voting ends on April 1, with winners announced on April 7.
Anyone interested in participating in the contest can enter online through March 3. Participation in the competition is free, as is admission to the display.
PEEPS in the Village will be located in the Visitor and Event Center on Street Road. Display hours will mirror Peddler’s Village shopping hours.
Other Peddler’s Village competitions and displays this year will include: Cupcake Decorating Contest - May 3 through May 20; Photo Contest and Exhibit - June 12 through July 30; Scarecrows in the Village - Sept. 11 through Oct. 31; Pumpkin-Carving Contest - Oct. 22 through Oct. 29; Gingerbread Competition and Display - Nov. 17 - Jan. 14, 2024.
