Fun at Sandfest 2016

What's It All About?

Bring your shovels and pails (and pals!) to join us for this Eleventh Annual Sandfest sand sculpting event. Whether you are a traditional castle-builder, or prefer to unleash your talents on mermaids, alligators, whales and the like, the more fantastical the better! This year's theme is "Celebrating 125 Years of Provincial Park Camping", as part of the Ontario Provincial Parks 125th Anniversary.

Each area will be set up as if it were a miniature campsite, so that participants can carve/construct any type of historical or current camping scenario! But don't let us cramp your style!

Please join us at this popular family event. Who knows, Canada's next budding sculptor might be found here honing their skills in this fun and forgiving medium!

Please check our Facebook Page the day before in case of weather postponement.
