Sand sculptures in Blankenbergen
Every year Blankenbergen, a Belgian sea-side city is the host to the sand sculpture festival.
This year the theme is based on the Magical Moments Festival of Disneyland Paris.
A select group of professional artists will give shape and form to a selection of the well-known attractions and unforgettable moments for which Disneyland® Paris is so rightly famous, whilst at the same time giving a new look to some of the most well-loved Disney and Pixar characters – and all in sand! It offers a whole new dimension to an event which in recent years has become the most important summer attraction on the Belgian coast. Never before has the enchanting world of Disneyland® Paris been reproduced in the medium of sand – more than 3,000 square meters of it!
This year you can visit the sculptures from the 10th of June to the 12th of September, open from 10am until 7pm.
Address: Koning Albert I laan 116 – 8370 Blankenbergen
Ticket prices
Adults €11

Blankenbergen itself is nice sea-side town that often feels less stressful compared to for example Ostend, as it is less well known by tourist it does however still offer great facilities.
If you enjoy a more relaxing holiday, potentially with kids this is the destination of choice.
For the kids many events are ran during the holiday periods, you could visit the sea-life centre or “serpentarium” full of reptiles or you can just simply retreat to the nice beach!
