Celebrating 15 Years of Artistry

Welcome to the 15th anniversary of the Yarmouth Sand Sculpture Trail! This cherished annual tradition returns for the 2026 season, transforming Yarmouth into a town-wide gallery of incredible sand art. From mid-May through mid-October, visitors can explore the trail of remarkable sculptures, each meticulously hand-carved by the professional artists at Fitzysnowman Sculpting. Using over 85 tons of specialized sculpting sand, these three-ton masterpieces represent the largest trail in the U.S., offering a unique and memorable experience for the whole family.
