The Parksville Beach Festival Society presents the Quality Foods Sand Sculpting Competition and Exhibition, a world class event for master sand sculptors. Professional sculptors travel from all corners of the globe to participate in this remarkable competition in Parksville, British Columbia, Canada. Sculptors have 30 hours over four days to create their masterpieces from just sand and water.
Parksville's Sand Sculpting Competition history dates back to 1982, when it hosted its first "B.C. Open". A total of 100 people attended the first event, and it was reviewed as a "great success". From the BC Open to its present-day title, which welcomes over 100,000 visitors annually "The Quality Foods Sand Sculpting Competition", has evolved into a world class Master Sculptor competition.
Known to locals as “Beachfest”, this 5 ½ week long family-oriented festival runs July 15 to August 21, 2022 includes: the Quality Foods Sand Sculpting Competition & Exhibition; Canadian Tire Learn to Sculpt Like a Pro; Tim Hortons Summer Concert Series, Arbutus RV & Marine Art In The Park Artisan Market and Coastal Community Credit Union Sculpture Light Up!
