Sandfest

North Bend celebrates the art of the sand at Sandfest, where sculptors transform the beach into a canvas of astonishing creations. Watch the artistry unfold, try your own hand in the sand, and enjoy a family-friendly day on the south-central Oregon coast.

It's a creative, joyful tribute to the endless shore. Oregon's Bay Area makes a great base, with the vast Oregon Dunes, Shore Acres gardens, and the beaches at Charleston all nearby — the perfect setting for a sand-and-sea coastal weekend.
