The Wisconsin Sand Sculpting Festival, the only one of its kind in the entire state of Wisconsin, returns for another year. This two-day event at Manitowoc's Red Arrow Park and Beach features competitive semi-pro sand sculptors constructing masterpieces and an amateur competition. Throughout the weekend, attendees can watch and chat with competing sculptors in action in addition to enjoying a variety of live performances, food trucks, cold drinks, and vendor booths.

Spectators are encouraged to spend their time at the beach within the event area, but coolers and dogs are not permitted.
