A CLASSIC SUMMER EVENT

Join with your family + friends
Registration coming soon!

Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts founded this event in 1975, and today the Sandcastle Contest is co-sponsored by NISDA and the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce. It began with neighborhood families getting together at the beach with a picnic to enjoy time together building sand castles and has now grown to include our whole Nantucket Community and Island Visitors – many coming from afar and returning year after year to participate!

Join us for a fun filled afternoon at Jetties Beach creating glorious sandcastles and sand sculptures – perhaps a magnificent mermaid, sea creature, giant guitar or an awesome car!

See you there! Ribbons for ALL!

Ribbons awarded in each category for First, Second, Third, and Honorable Mention. A Grand 1st Prize ribbon is awarded as well as a crowd pleasing “People’s Choice” Award. Ribbons are awarded at 3:45 pm. Categories are: Family, Adult, Teen, and Youth

Sandcastle Contest Registration is included for all students enrolled in NISDA’s “Young Masters” Program!
