This place hosts a collection of sand sculptures carved by a group of sculptors, who come from different parts of the world. The atmosphere is really great, a kind of party held in a beautiful setting, with music in the background and a lot of sand sculptures which seem to be in the middle of a party. It will be a memorable experience to walk among the statues of famous musicians and take a lot of pictures. In my opinion the most impressive thing about this place is the passion, the talent and the hard work implied by every single statue displayed there. The theme of the festival is different every year: famous film stars, music stars, superheroes, historical figures and so on. For example last year’s theme was music. Fiesta is definitely worth visiting. The following 30 pictures will sweep you off your feet and help you decide.

Fiesta is an International Sand Sculpture Festival held annually since 2003 in Pera, Portugal. This unique event is the largest sand sculpture exhibition in the world and displays a collection of imposing sculptures. It will be a delight to visit and admire this exhibition because every item is carefully carved.

The exhibition is in my opinion an amazing work of art. It is the work of a group of talented sculptors who come from different parts of the world and who are driven by the same passion for sculpture. The scenery is unique and impressive and every statue implies a lot of talent and hard work. The damp sand is put into big molds and takes the shape of a huge block which later becomes the final product. It seems that the sand comes to life in the sculptors’ hands.

If you take my advice and visit this exhibition, you will have the chance to plunge into an imaginary world. The theme of this art show is different every year and this is what makes the exhibition really interesting. Hollywood, superheroes, famous film and music stars, historical figures and music are just a few of the themes that were presented at the festival.

Music is the theme of the festival this year and I am sure it will be a delight to discover the musical styles of various countries of the world, the origins of music and the statues of one of the world’s famous musicians. While you admire the statues you will be also delighted by different musical styles which complete the whole idea of the festival.

This place can be visited by day or by night when the sculptures are illuminated by a multitude of colorful lights. The exhibition is open to the public every day between March 20 and October 20, giving you enough time to live an unforgettable experience.
