Giant animals, 3d creations, and working mechanics are just some of the aspects that can be found at this years Sand Sculpture competition. This sand sculpting challenge and festival will be in San Diego next weekend with premiere artists from around the country competing for the prize. There will be activities and entertainment for families, and proceeds go to arts programs in the San Diego area.
Hundreds of thousands have come each year to see master-class sculptors build beautiful 3-dimensional works of art. Now many of the world's finest artists will come to create the most amazing sculptures ever. And they'll do it on a unique site with our beautiful bay on the West and downtown's sandcastles in the sky on the East. Just 2 blocks North lie the world's tall ships in all their majesty, and out on the bay, the ships sail with full regalia and recreate cannon battles of yore.
It's a 4-day extravaganza for the whole family.
