The US Open Sandcastle Competition is a magical three-day event which showcases some incredible sand sculptures. But the competition includes far more than the sand sculptures and opens on the Friday evening with the lavish Sandcastle Ball. Entertainment takes place throughout the weekend and includes children’s rides, a parade through the streets, live music arts and crafts market and numerous food stalls. There’s a special Kids-N-Kastles competition on the Saturday afternoon and the day ends with a fireworks display. The serious business of the US Open Sandcastle Competition takes place on the Sunday where sculptors compete for cash prizes
