The Free Kids’ Sandcastle Competition Returns to the Frisco Bay Marina

On Sunday, August 11, 2024, the Kids’ Sandcastle Competition returns to the Frisco Bay Marina for kiddos 12 and under. The Sandcastle Competition will start at 10:00 am at the Frisco Bay Marina beach, with prizes awarded starting at noon.

Sandcastle competitors will have from 10:00 am to 11:30 am to build their masterpieces. Children are encouraged to bring their own sandcastle building supplies and anything they would like to use to decorate their sandcastles. Judging will begin at 11:30 am with awards to follow at 12:00 pm.

There are four (4) age divisions in the competition: 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. Children may participate solo or have a team of up to four participants. Each child will receive a free ice cream, and prizes will be awarded to 1st place overall and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in each age category. Any items brought to enhance participants’ sandcastles must be left with the sandcastles for viewing throughout the day. Items may be picked up at 3:00 pm.

Participation is free, but kids must register online. Day of registration will not be available. Participants are encouraged to arrive early so they are able to find parking and be ready to create their masterpieces from 10:00 am to 11:30am. Paid parking is available at the Frisco Bay Marina from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm for $1.25 per half hour for the first three hours, $2.50 a half hour thereafter; the first 30 minutes of parking are free. Participants are encouraged to walk, bike, or take the bus to Main Street Frisco which is an easy walk to the Marina.
