The AIA Sandcastle Competition is this Saturday (June 1st) in Galveston. This is a fun annual event where sand artists, who are architects, engineers and designers, come to compete in a sandcastle competition. These are true works of art and take hours to complete.
The contestants will be building their creations from 10:00am until 3:00 pm on the day of the event and judging will be from 3:00-4:30 with awards to follow. There will be live music and refreshments available all day and the public can vote on their favorites. It’s amazing to watch what these artists can do with sand! The picture above is from last year’s competition. Attending the sandcastle competition is a great way to spend a day by the beach.
The competition will take place at Galveston East Beach (1923 Boddeker) and parking costs $10 (bring cash, there is no convenient ATM), but entry to the event is free. If you can’t make it Saturday, head down on Sunday (weather permitting) to check out some of the creations! They really are impressive!
