37th Annual Sandcastle Days
Sep 29, 2025 - Oct 05, 2025
The City of South Padre Island and Sandcastle Days founders, Walter McDonald and Lucinda Wierenga, are proud to welcome you to the 37th Annual Sandcastle Days.
Master Sand sculptors Walter McDonald (aka Amazin Walter) and Lucinda Wierenga (aka Sandy Feet) are South Padre Island residents. Sandcastle Days is a way to demonstrate the magical sculpting qualities of South Padre Island sand AND the critical importance of protecting our beautiful coastal shores. Over the years, this FREE family-fun event has grown from a local celebration to a qualifying event for the World Championships of Sand Sculpting, where fans come to watch the sand come alive. Admission to this year’s event is FREE and boasts live music, art booths, great food, and an exciting new evening.
