Sun & Sea Festival

Description

The Sun & Sea Festival derives its name from Imperial Beach’s original public festival of the same name that was held beginning in 1960 to celebrate the date of the city’s incorporation. This annual community celebration featured a sand sculpting competition. 2014 will see further reintegration of the best of both historical events. The Sun & Sea Festival will expand on the family-oriented theme by adding an expanded Farmer’s Market and International Food Fair showcasing all that Imperial Beach has to offer. On the sand, competition will return to the event with teams vying for honors in sand sculpting prowess on the north side of the pier and Kids 'n Kastles returns to the south of the pier.
