Saturday will feature professional sand sculptors and community viewing, and Sunday will be the main event with community and corporate teams, vendors and attractions for all ages.
Last August, Granada Beach on Belmont Shore came alive with the 79th contest. Twenty-four amateur teams from surrounding schools, neighborhoods and businesses showed off their creative skills and competed for various prizes while thousands of people cheered them on. The Port of Long Beach celebrated its centennial anniversary with a centerpiece sand sculpture built by professionals. All of the proceeds were donated to Miller Children’s Hospital of Long Beach.
Rotaract Long Beach, the young nonprofit organization behind the event, will once again team up with Alfredo’s Beach Club to organize this year’s Sand Sculpture Contest.
The event will feaÂture everyÂthing from top proÂfesÂsional sand sculpÂtors and corÂpoÂrate teams to local youth buildÂing their very first sand castle. SculpÂtures will be judged on uniqueÂness of sculpÂture, difÂfiÂculty of conÂstrucÂtion, and disÂplay and conÂcept. The day will also include a kid’s zone, arts and crafts venÂdors, live music and food.
General attendance is free. Various levels for sponsorships and contributions are listed on the website. All event proceeds will benefit charity.
