Great Sand Sculpture Contest

Sand sculp­tures, grand prizes, food and drink ven­dors, live music, par­ties… what bet­ter way to spend a beau­ti­ful sum­mer week­end than the 80th Annual Great Sand Sculp­ture Contest?

This event is a two day fes­ti­val cel­e­brat­ing the com­mu­nity while work­ing together to make Long Beach a bet­ter place. Gen­eral atten­dance is absolutely free. As Rotaract Long Beach and Alfredo’s Beach Club, our goal is to bring together neigh­bor­hood groups, local busi­nesses, cor­po­ra­tions, and the res­i­dents of Long Beach for a fun and excit­ing dis­play of artis­tic explo­ration high­light­ing what makes Long Beach great.

Last year’s event saw some very excit­ing com­pe­ti­tion, with thou­sands of peo­ple watch­ing and cheer­ing on!

Last year, we had ten thou­sand peo­ple of all ages come to the event to express the spirit of Long Beach. It ended up being one of the largest events that Bel­mont Shore had ever seen. And the good news is, we are plan­ning an even big­ger sand sculp­ture con­test this year! For more infor­ma­tion about what we are work­ing on, click here. On the other hand, if you would like to become a spon­sor, set up a ven­dor booth, or par­tic­i­pate in the con­test, you can fill out the cor­re­spond­ing forms from the ‘Get Involved’ menu.
