I have never been to a sand festival. It looks so cool.

That’s amazing! I can barely make a sand castle, this takes real skill and vision
I am amazed at the amount of work that goes into each of these, I can’t build anything bigger than a basic sand castle.
I love this sand creativity. Thank you for sharing this post. 🙂
How fun! We live in Texas but have never been down there. I was actually thinking about it for this summer.
This is a really unique festival to be a part of. So amazing of these people who created such unique art pieces from sand.
This sounds like a wonderful festival to visit. We have a snow festival here in Japan, up north, that is the same idea.
Those are really cool sand sculptures!
