REVERE, MASS. (WHDH) - The International Sand Sculpting Festival held each year in Revere has been canceled due to the pandemic.
The event, which draws more than 1 million artists from all over the world, is a big economic driver for the city.
Jeff Turco, president of the Revere Beach Partnership, said “the economic impact on Revere is pretty significant” on restaurants and businesses that benefit from tourism around the event.
Organizers say they are planning a bigger and better festival for next summer.
