(Michigan City, IN) - The Singing Sands Sand Sculpting Festival appears to be on its way to becoming a Michigan City tradition, as the three-day lakefront art festival will return to Washington Park for its third year on June 7th, 2024.

 

“Bringing the Singing Sands Sand Sculpting Festival back for a third year is so exciting,” noted Michigan City Mayor Duane Parry. 

 

“This event has become one of the premiere events on the shores of Lake Michigan, and people come from all over to enjoy our beautiful beach."

 

The Singing Sands Sand Sculpting Festival previously debuted in June of 2022, and was a huge success.

 

The centerpiece of the event is a professional sand sculpting exhibition and competition, drawing some of the world’s most talented and well-known sand sculptors who create incredible works of art. The festival also includes a Kidz Zone, sand sculpting demonstrations, the Quick Sand speed sculpting show, live music, an artisan market, and a great variety of food and beverage options including a full bar.

 

According to the mayor’s office, Michigan City Special Events will again partner with The Sand Lovers, LLC, a professional sand sculpting and event management company, which specializes in major sand sculpting events.

 

Bill and Marianne Knight, both professional sand sculptors, brought this unique art form to Michigan City for the first time and believe the event will continue to grow.

 

“The Singing Sands Sand Sculpting Festival is quickly becoming one of the premiere sand sculpting competitions in the United States,” said Bill Knight of The Sand Lovers, LLC.

 

“We are proud to continue our partnership with Michigan City Special Events and look to continue growing the event.”
