The theme for this year's Fun N' Sun Festival ~ Pier 60 Sugar Sand Walk Exhibit will be 'All Out Music" as ten world-class sand sculpting artists gather beneath the twenty-one thousand square foot tent on Clearwater Beach for this year's famous Sugar Sand Festival. One thousand tons of the pure-white sugar sand we sink our toes into each summer will fill the tent as artists bring it to life sculpting intricate designs based on this years suite theme: Music!
