Clearwater Beach Sugar Sand Festival 2026

Experience the Magic of Clearwater Beach: A One-Day Escape to the Sugar Sand Festival.

Spend an unforgettable day at the Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival, where Clearwater Beach’s dazzling white sands transform into breathtaking works of art. Watch master sand sculptors craft intricate designs from 1,000 tons of pure sugar sand inside a massive 21,000-square-foot exhibit.

This year's theme "United In Sand: Celebrating Sports & Spirit" shines a spotlight on teamwork, the unifying power of sports and the inspiring spirit connecting generations.  Guests can also experience a special immersive exhibit honoring the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Semiquincentennial celebration brought to life through stunning sand artistry and state-of-the-art projection mapping.

This exclusive, once-a-year event attracts over 200,000 visitors and offers something for everyone—from awe-inspiring sculptures to street performers, live entertainment, and hands-on sand sculpting classes. Between exploring, indulge in local culinary delights just steps away from the festival or grab a sweet treat and refreshing drink from onsite vendors. Don’t forget your camera—every moment here is picture-perfect!

Pro tip: Bring a blanket or beach chair, sink your toes into the warm sugar sands, and let the ocean breeze and rhythmic waves complete your perfect beachside escape. One day is all it takes to make unforgettable memories!
