61st Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest

Join us for the longest-standing tradition in Cannon Beach—the Sandcastle Contest! The contest itself is on Saturday, June 21st, but there is a whole weekend of celebrating sandcastles.

On Friday, June 20th, join the Sandcastle Committee at the open-house kick-off party, where you can view decades of Sandcastle Posters, buy your contest merch, and more.

On Saturday, June 21st, head to the beach to try your shovel at building a sandcastle or watch the trained pros! Then join us in the evening for a bonfire and concert.

On Sunday, June 22nd, we will round out the weekend with the Singing Sands 5k Fun Run & Walk!
