The best sand sculptor will be announced on February 16 and the completed sculptures remaining on display until March 1.
Visitors can watch as gigantic carvings of Little Red Riding Hood, Pinocchio, Cinderella and The Little Mermaid and more are built over three days, festival attendees can vote for their favourite in the People’s Choice Award to be announced on the last weekend of the event.
On the foreshore, The Castle of Ever After will host a range of free activities including performance art, children’s dance classes, live music, plus so much more.
