The highly anticipated Revere Beach International Sand Sculpting Festival returns on Friday, July 19 through Sunday, July 21, bringing together renowned Master Sand Sculptors from around the globe to showcase their extraordinary talents on Revere Beach. The Festival is an awe-inspiring celebration of creativity and craftsmanship, where Master Sculptors transform ordinary sand into breathtaking works of art. To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Revere Beach International Sand Sculpting Festival, this years’ centerpiece will showcase festival highlights and past themes. In addition to the centerpiece, attendees will witness an extraordinary display of skill as 15 talented sand sculptors from across the world compete.
“The mission of the Revere Beach Partnership is to preserve and enhance America’s first public beach for the enjoyment of all. With this as our focus, we are committed to putting on a world-class event that invites visitors from all over the world and showcases the beauty of Revere Beach and all that Revere and its surroundings have to offer,” said Revere Beach International Sand Sculpting Festival Committee Chairman John Hamel.
“For nearly two decades, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing the amazing creations at the International Sand Sculpting Festival at Revere Beach – my favorite DCR park and America’s first public beach – first as a spectator, then as the Mayor of Revere, and now as DCR Commissioner,” said Department of Conservation & Recreation Commissioner Brian Arrigo. “I’m thrilled that I can continue to work with the City of Revere and our partners to be a part of one of my favorite events of the summer that brings people and families from around the world to our beautiful beach.”
“We are so excited to be hosting the ISSF, and thrilled to be celebrating the festival’s 20th anniversary. The ISSF has become not only a time-honored Revere tradition, but also a premier event in the New England area, attracting folks from far and wide. This year, as in years past, we expect to draw in hundreds of thousands of visitors, and plenty of vendors, while honoring the work of these talented artists. We’re excited to see friends, families, and faces familiar and new, to share in the fun of the event, and showcase the beauty of Revere Beach,” said Mayor Patrick Keefe
