Sandsations Sand Sculpture Contest in Long Beach, Washington
July 20-24, 2011
2011 is Sandsations 27th year of family sandcastle building and entertainment on the beach in Long Beach, WA. Again we’ll have FREE sculpting lessons on Friday, followed by a beach bonfire Friday night. Saturday is the big day, with five hours of sculpting on the beach and the Sand Flea Pet Parade. Prizes and notoriety are guaranteed!
City Sandsations. Four Masters artists will start building in downtown Long Beach on Wednesday, culminating Friday afternoon with a holiday-themed sculpture you can stand in to have your photo taken for your holiday cards and scrapbooks. Bring your camera! This is also a great opportunity to watch masters artists in an environment where time is less of an obstacle to their building and they’ll be able to answer questions. There will also be a children’s learning play area and our SandSations trailer will be on hand for early registration, purchase of Sandsations t-shirts, hoodies, and baseball caps. The sculptures will be on display through Sunday 6:00 pm. Pictures will also be able to be taken.
Please note that SandSations weekend is chosen, by the team of volunteers who put on this award-winning event, based on the best tides for building. Unfortunately, tide tables can’t account for storm surges or other acts of nature. Therefore, all times are approximate and subject to change. Check in at the Sandsations Trailer on the beach for details.
