The Siesta Key Crystal Classic Sandsculpting Festival is an internationally recognized sand sculpting event held each year on the white sands of Siesta Beach, Florida. Since 2010, this four-day event has brought together talented master sand sculptors from around the world to transform Siesta’s famous sand into stunning, large-scale works of art.

More than just a competition, the Crystal Classic is a celebration of art, community, and the natural beauty of our coastline. Visitors can enjoy live music, local food and drink, shopping, sand sculpting demonstrations, and family-friendly activities — all set against the backdrop of one of America’s top-ranked beaches.
