The Siesta Key Crystal Classic is a renowned international sand sculpting festival held annually at the famous Siesta Beach in Sarasota, Florida. From November 14 to 17, 2025, 24 master sand sculptors from around the world will transform the fine white quartz sand into impressive works of art. Visitors can watch the artists at work and admire the finished sculptures.
