The sands sculptures

The sands sculptures park in Burgas. Whatever the mood is, the face of a happy kid or a thought of some unforgettable moments of our childhood always bring a smile on our face. And as if we instantly immerse into another world where time has stopped and everything is so carefree, joyful and spontaneous. For the past 10 years such a small world opens its doors every summer. It is located in the Sea Garden of the city of Burgas. This is not a fictional place - it is quite real, even though it whole is created of sand.So in the not too distant 2008, the first of its kind Festival of Sand Sculptures welcomed its first visitors and for a short time it became a favorite exhibition not only for citizens of Burgas but also for the guests of the city during the summer season. The location has always been the same - Park Ezero, next to the Horse Riding Base, but the whole resource which is used for the festival to be build gains larger measures every consecutive year.The real process of preparation begins much earlier than the traditional opening wich is in early July. The area is being prepared, the sand is screened and the tireless work of the sculptors who breathe life into their creations begins. Every subsequent edition of the festival manages to express so much emotions with its whole new vision and proves that during the years its popularity grows. In its first edition, 20,000 visitors touched the magic of the art of sand, as their number has increased every year, reaching up to 100,000 people per season. We can proudly say that more than 810 000 people have stamped their smiles in the book of sand filled with fairy tales.Since its firts edition the festival has became one of the most antisipated events in our city: "Carnival" - 2008, "Fairy Characters" - 2009, "Circus" - 2010, "Cinema" - 2011 , "The Magic World" - 2012, "Alley of Fame" - 2013, "Tales of Sand" - 2014, "To Go On Safari with a Camera" - 2015, "Cinema Characters", "Sandy Tales" - 2017. /In the summer time only/
