HAMPTON, N.H. (WHDH) - The 23rd annual Hampton Beach Sand Sculpting Classic is underway in New Hampshire Thursday, featuring sand sculptures that can win thousands in prize money.
SKY7 HD over the beach Friday morning showed builders taking to sand to show off their skills on the second day of the festival.
“This whole event is one of the only free events you can go to to see sand sculptures,” founder Greg Grady said. “We’re run by the Hampton Beach Village District. It’s truly a museum, art pieces. These sculptors are doing museum-quality sculptures.”
You can join in on the voting Saturday and enjoy fireworks later in the evening. The sandcastles will be lit up through June 26.
