SandFest hosts this successful sand sculpture festival. Due to its exciting growth, we need your sponsorship to help us continue to present this wonderful community event. The three-day beachfront extravaganza is now one of the largest festivals on the gulf coast and costs over $70,000. We are the official sand sculpting festival for the State of Texas!

The Texas SandFest attracts Master sculptors from all over the US, and as far away as New Zealand and Norway, to compete. The 2005 festival attracted over 100,000 people and, additionally, was seen by more than 2 million television viewers and readers thanks to all the media attention.

Due to sponsors (like yourself), we continue to be able to offer this wonderful festival and Free Admission for the public.
SandFest will benefit four different local non-profit groups in 2008.  
Helping SandFest will also help:
The Art Center For The Island, Port Aransas CommunityTheatre, The Port Aransas Food Pantry, and Port Aransas Preservation & Historical Association.
