The return of the Singing Sands Sand Sculpting Festival to Michigan City’s Washington Park will feature a new amateur competition that will help raise funds for local LaPorte County charities.
The Singing Sands Sand Sculpting Festival Community Challenge will take place as a part of the three-day sand sculpting festival scheduled for July 17 – 19th, 2026.
The Community Challenge will allow local businesses, professional groups, service organizations and anyone that wants to participate a chance to raise funds for the charity of their choice. The entry fee per six-person team is $2,000 with half of that fee going to local charities, and the goal is to secure a minimum of 20 teams and maximum of 30 teams.
