Throughout the day there'll be ice cream eating contests, ice cream shuffleboard and kids arts and crafts.

For a colorful festival: Back for the second year is Wallingford, PA's Tie-Dye Music Festival. From 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., attendees can tie-dye their own items (or purchase shirts, onesies or aprons), listen to local bands and eat yummy foods at the Community Arts Center.
