About

Every year, in the weeks leading up to Easter, the Carroll Arts Council in Westminster, Maryland, hosts a peep show. No, not that kind of peep show. A Marshmallow PEEP show.

Approximately 100 teams work year-round to create a Marshmallow Peep masterpiece made primarily out of the delicious Easter candy, which are displayed in the old Westminster Theater for thousands of patrons' viewing pleasure, and the chance to be voted the best of the best.

Some of the popular choices include larger-than-life sugary versions of Belle from Beauty and the Beast, a Game of Thrones dragon, R2D2, Edgar Allen Poe, The Rainbow Fish, and Paddington Bear.

Entry is free, but be sure to bring a few dollars to buy voting chips and and you may like to buy some Peeps merchandise to fill those Easter baskets! The Peep Show is great for the whole family, so come on out next Easter.
