While carvings occur throughout the city, the largest and most prestigious gathering of sculptors occurs in Sunset Park in Ocean View (in Upper Tavick’s Landing). House Phiarlan has provided entertainment for this festival in the way of dancing and story-telling for the last two years of this celebration. Also, a few of the city councilors judge the sculptures, and the winner receives a purse of 150 gp.
