The Exhibition
/ A world made of sand
In 2003, FIESA - International Sand Sculpture Festival was born, an artistic project, unique and innovative in Portugal and in Europe, which quickly captured the interest of the public and the media through the exhibit of dreamy sculptures, artists, and visitors alike.

Over almost two decades of exhibition and varied themes, the need to transform the exhibition and the surrounding spaces led to a change of location, moving from the Pêra area to the current space in Lagoa on the EN 125, where the SAND CITY - The Largest Exhibition of Sand Sculptures in the World, is currently nested.

More than 120 works of art skillfully sculpted by more than 60 different artists, national and international, embodied emblematic scenes, well-known personalities, or simple curiosities, exposed so that the visitor, guests, family, or group, marvels.

Among green spaces and various areas that invite you to relax, body and mind, discover an outdoor enclosure that appeals to children and adults of all ages.
