The 9th Annual Siesta Key Crystal Classic International Sand Sculpting Festival has rapidly become a must see for people staying in the Sarasota area.  Master sand scuptures work in teams for some serious prize money and the results are amazing.  Beyond the sand sculptures, there is live music, food and beverages and multiple vendors selling their wares.  All this on the #1 beach in America, Siesta Key Public Beach!  Tickets are $10 at the door or there are 4 day passes and advanced tickets on line at https://www.siestakeycrystalclassic.com/  .
