Dreams and impresses made of sand! 2025 Festival of Fukiage beach sand

Event Overview

The representative event of Golden Week, the "2026 Fukiagehama Sand Festival," will be held in the "town center" around the Minamisatsuma City Hall Citizen Exchange Square. The theme for the sand sculptures in 2026 is "Sand Walk - A Castle Story Made of Sand." Numerous castles tower in the world of sand. As visitors explore the magnificent castles made of sand, from famous castles etched in history to dream castles appearing in stories, the history and romance that dwell there invite them on a journey beyond time and space. There will also be events featuring local specialties, food trucks, and gourmet offerings. At night, the sand sculptures will be illuminated, and fireworks will be launched, providing a magical atmosphere different from that of the daytime, which is one of the attractions.
