One of my favorite festivals has rolled around again! Were you in town checking it all out? If not, I have ya covered. This year, the Salem’s So Sweet festival was SOOO MUCH WARMER. Last year, I legit turned into a popcicle. While waiting for my dinner I was googling “symptoms of hypothermia”, I swear to you all. This year it was a fairly mild day which made it easier to walk around taking pictures but meant the sculptures were a little…drippy by the evening. The following are all 24 sculptures and a few at the end once they were lit up after sun down. All of the sculptures had lights on them, but I was definitely not about to walk around to all of them again for another round of shots. 😛 So here ya go. Which ones are your favorites?
