“Fort Myers Beach is a special piece of paradise. It’s a 7-Mile Island lined with beautiful sugar sand beaches, perfect for making intricate, giant sandcastles. We are super excited about the response we are receiving from both the sculptor and spectator communities. We have eight master sculptors and eight semi-pro sculptors signed up and ready to compete … with more to come! The return of this beloved signature event to Fort Myers Beach is a testament to the resiliency and perseverance of this small island community. Even after the challenges posed by Hurricane Ian, the community is rising stronger and eagerly anticipates welcoming back its most devoted fans. Join us this November as we celebrate together and create magical artworks and lasting memories! See you on the Sand!” Jacki Liszak
