Duncannon Sand Sculpting Festival - Co Wexford

Friday 12th - Sunday 14th August 2011

The Sand Sculpting festival kicks off on Friday night with the grand opening of professional Sand Sculptures and beach party, with live entertainment and Fireworks afterdark. Throughout the weekend we have amatuer sand sculpting competitions open to all the family, with fun and games on the beach including Climbing Wall and Tug O War.

For the smaller children we have storytelling in Duncannons Historic fort and fancy dress competitions.

Throughout the weekend we have live music from local musicians in the village. There are plenty of other events going on over the weekend for all age groups. On Sunday afternoon we have Street Theatre with the "Madcaps" - this highly entertaining show is free to all and will have everyone in stitches laughing.

So, bring the family because this is one festival where there is somthing for everyone no matter what age.
