Events

A standard long-weekend holiday. While not a massive celebration on its own, the extra day off brings a steady stream of regional visitors to the beach.

Adults and families dress up for costume contests, spooky drink specials, and live music at various beachfront bars and resorts. Very festive local nightlife scene.

A visually stunning, family-friendly evening event where participants walk together carrying beautifully crafted, illuminated paper lanterns through the park and surrounding areas.

A day to honor military veterans. Many local restaurants and shops offer discounts, and the beach sees a moderate bump in visitors enjoying the cooler fall weather.

One of the biggest events of the year. Master sand sculptors from around the world compete to build massive, intricate sand art on the beach. Includes a vendor village, food, and live music. Massive foot traffic right on the sand.
