Let's Head Out to Sanding Ovations 2025 – "the Gallery of Sand"

Hello Tampa Bay Community,

We are delighted to invite you to a celebration of creativity and artistry at the annual Sanding Ovations sand sculpting competition and festival!

This year’s event promises to be more spectacular than ever, with the Protected content "The Gallery of Sand". Master sculptors from around the world will converge on our shores to transform ordinary sand and water into breathtaking, large-scale works of art. For a limited time, Treasure Island’s beach will become a one-of-a-kind, open-air 3D art gallery, inviting you to immerse yourself in the magic of world-class sand art.

Festival Highlights
•Witness internationally acclaimed sculptors in action as they shape intricate "outSANDing" masterpieces before your eyes.
•Enjoy live entertainment, food vendors, and family-friendly activities throughout the festival.
•Connect with fellow InterNations members and make unforgettable memories together in a stunning coastal setting.

After we experience the wonderful sand sculptures, we will head out for dinner at a nearby restaurant or partake in food offerings of the various vendors by the beach. The location will be shared with the attendees of this event. After dinner we will end with fireworks on the beach.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the artistry, joy, and wonder of Sanding Ovations with friends from around the world. We look forward to seeing you on the sands of Treasure Island!
