Sand Sculpting Spectacle

FIESA is a mega exhibition of sand sculptures held by Prosandart since 2003 in Pêra, Algarve, and each new edition is dedicated to a different theme. Every year from March to September, a group of talented sculptors, from various parts of the world and experts in the art of sand sculpting, join forces to give shape to thirty-five thousand tons of sand, in an area of fifteen thousand square meters. The festival is unique in the Iberian Peninsula and is considered the largest sand sculpture festival in the world, by the size of its sculptures and the area they occupy. It can be visited by day or by night when the sculptures are illuminated by light games. FIESA also incorporates a playful dimension with a space for sand sculpture activities, where each day, adults, teens and children can experience and show their creative abilities in this form of artistic expression.
