Bay of Fundy Sand Sculpture Festival 2025
August 2 - August 4
The biggest beach day of the year is bigger than ever!
For nearly 40 years, sand sculptors and spectators have gathered at New River Beach Provincial Park and now,
the festival is evolving — growing from a single-day community event into a multi-day experience.
This year, The Bay of Fundy Sand Sculpture Festival at New River Beach Provincial Park will run from August 2nd to 4th,
and will include a 3-day professional sand sculpting competition featuring some of the best sand sculptors in the world!
Watch as world-class sand sculptors craft masterpieces from nothing but sand and water.
But as the tides rise, their creations are reclaimed by the Bay, making each sculpture a temporary wonder.
Register now to create your own masterpieces at fundysculpturefest.com for the free amateur competition on Aug 2nd
and enjoy a day of music, vendors, and sand sculpting workshops for the family.
This festival is proudly presented by ParksNB, the Ginger Agency, Tim Sommerville, Cooke Aquaculture,
the Saint John Airport and Saint John’s summer soundtrack, K100.
