Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts founded this event in 1975, and today Sandcastle Day is co-sponsored by NISDA and the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce. It began with neighborhood families getting together at the beach with a picnic to enjoy time together building sand castles and has now grown to include our whole Nantucket Community and Island Visitors – many coming from afar and returning year after year to participate!

Join us for a fun filled afternoon at Jetties Beach creating glorious sandcastles and sand sculptures – perhaps a magnificent mermaid, sea creature, giant guitar or awesome car!

See you there! Ribbons for ALL!

Pre-registration is encouraged, as space is limited and fills up fast.
Pre-register at www.nisda.org  or at the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce office at Zero Main Street. Registration is open till noon on Friday (August 2nd) before the contest.
