Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival

Next date: Friday, March 27, 2026 | 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM

The Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival returns to bright and beautiful Clearwater Beach from March 27 to April 12, 2026! This year, the festival celebrates its twelfth year of bringing Clearwater's sugar sand to life.

The Sugar Sand Festival is a 17-day beach wide celebration of Clearwater Beach’s two most notable natural assets: our sugar sand and sunsets. Eighteen master sand sculptors use 1,000 tons of Clearwater Beach's sugar sand to create a walk-through art exhibit housed in a 24,000-square-foot structure. The event also raises money for the community and supports the educational initiatives of the Sunsets at Pier 60 Festival.

The Pier 60 Sugar Sand Festival is the largest destination event on Clearwater Beach and attracts more than 200,000 visitors from all over the world.
