Planning your trip to Texas SandFest? Here’s a friendly reminder!

To help keep the event safe, comfortable, and enjoyable for everyone, Texas SandFest is now a pet-free event—so please leave your furry friends at home.

While we know they love the beach just as much as you do, this allows for smoother crowds, safer walkways, and the best possible experience for all attendees.

We can’t wait to see you soaking up the sun, sand, and incredible sculptures!
