A piece of the beach came to Tanger Outlets Sunday with the Tanger Weekends Summer Festival. 

The family-friendly event included a live sand sculpting demonstration by Sand Sculpt USA, All Natural Arts. Professional sand sculptor Andy Gertler and his team also set aside sand to teach children all the tricks for building a great sand castle.

The event brought together different Long Island vendors like Greenport Harbor Brewing Company, The Children’s Museum of the East End and The Big Black Food Truck.

Keep an eye out for the final event in the series this fall.
