The 82nd Annual Great Sand Sculpture Contest brings together families, community and artists to celebrate our local beach! Internationally-recognized professional sculptors will build a remarkable centerpiece sculpture while amateur professionals and dozens of community teams will challenge each other for highly-valued gift packages. Sign up in advance as an event team or event sponsor. Enjoy exciting attractions such as vendors, live music, food and a fenced-off kid zone. All event proceeds will be donated to the Long Beach Library Foundation.
