Parksville Beach Festival promises fun in the sun at the Parksville Community Park located alongside Parksville’s beautiful beach. Starting with the world-renowned, signature event, the Quality Foods Sand Sculpting Competition, opening weekend is July 11, 12 and 13 with the sculpture exhibition open until August 17. This ever-popular event features a 30-hour competition between twenty-nine international master sculptors. Sculptors begin by pounding sand on Thursday, July 10 to create the sculpting base that is essential to a successful sculpture.The sculptures are available for viewing from July 14 through to August 17 from 9:30am-8:30pm daily. Admission is by suggested donation of $5 per person. Since 1999, the Parksville Beach Festival Society has donated over a $1 Million from the gate proceeds to non-profit organizations and community projects.
Known to locals as “Beachfest”, this 5 ½ week-long family-oriented festival, not only includes the Quality Foods Sand Sculpting Competition & Exhibition; the public can also enjoy weekend concerts; daily buskers on the boardwalk; a weekend Artisan Market and two evenings where the sculptures are illuminated for late night viewing.
