Crystal Classic

The Siesta Key Crystal Classic International Sand Sculpting Festival is a four-day event held on the sand at Siesta Beach.

Buy tickets online until Nov. 13, 3pm.

At this four-day Festival 24 artists converge on Siesta Key to compete in an amazing Master Sand Sculpting competition.

In the ticketed area the sand sculptors create a large community carve, eight solo sculptures, and eight team sculptures. On Saturday evening the Festival's ticketed area is open until 9pm so attendees can enjoy the sculptures under colored lights. Crystal Classic is a judged competition and the winners are revealed Sunday afternoon.

In addition to the judged sand sculptures, attractions inside the ticketed area include sand sculpting demonstrations, live music, and an amateur sculpting competition. Outside the ticketed area attendees can stroll Vendor Village and enjoy food trailers 10am to 5pm each day.
