Fiesa Sand Sculpture Festival

Fiesa is a sand sculpture festival held annually in the Algarve, carved every year with a unique theme in mind. It is one of the largest sand sculpture exhibitions in the world due to the amount of sand it uses. It also represents a milestone in the career of the sculptors involved in it’s construction.

The festival is open during the day but also at night, where the sculptures are illuminated by colourful lights, creating new and unexpected environments.

There are also plenty of things to do and see. Adults and young children alike can experience and show off their creative abilities.
