REVERE — Monumental sand sculptures will rise from the shores of America’s first public beach as part of the Revere Beach’s 22nd International Sand Sculpting Festival. All are welcome at this event, which will take place from July 17-19. The event will begin at 10 a.m. each day, with Friday and Saturday’s festivities concluding at 10 p.m., and Sunday’s wrapping up at 8 p.m.

These sand sculptures will be masterfully formed by world renowned sculptors competing for prize money. Alongside providing an inside look at the creation of these sculptures in real time, the festival features interactive activities, amusement rides, fireworks, and all kinds of family fun. Also offered are more than 50 food vendors and trucks, including Cookie Monstah, Ben and Jerry’s, Chick-fil-A, and Trolley Dogs.

This year, the event will be centered on the theme Boston Welcomes the World. Inspired by both the influx of tourists to the Boston area due to the World Cup, and the preexisting international spirit of the festival, this theme was created to welcome and celebrate visitors and sculptors from around the world.

The 11 sculptors making the trek to Revere are from a wide range of locations. Three of the talented sculptors hail from Canada: Marie-Line Gagné, Jonathan (Jobi) Bouchard, and Sèveline Beauregard. Like many fellow sand sculptors, Sèveline Beauregard uses a variety of different materials to sculpt, such as ice and snow. She even worked at the famous Ice Hotel in Quebec. Slavian Borecki is from Poland, and Bouke Atema and Hanneke Supply are from the Netherlands.

Living in the states, Morgan Rudluff and Joon Park are from California. Park started sand sculpting at 17 and has developed a large social media presence with his talents, with 513,000 followers on Instagram and 472,000 followers on TikTok under the name JPSandman. Patrick Harsch is from Florida, dynamic duo Chris Guinto and Melineige Beauregard are from Hawaii, and Ndricim “Jimmy” Bejko is a local from Boston.

According to the Revere Beach International Sand Sculpting Festival website, Rudluff said her career in sand sculpting “has been equal parts art, design, science, composition, education, adaptability, attention to detail, creativity, intuition, and absolute love for what I am doing.”

The International Sand Sculpting festival is hosted by the Revere Beach Partnership: a nonprofit with a goal to “preserve and enhance America’s first public beach for the enjoyment of all.”

According to the event’s press release, attending this event supports the conservation of Revere Beach “as a location of artistry, culture, and community.”
