Sand sculptures in unexpected places

From May to the end of August, Julianadorp transforms into an open-air sand gallery. Impressive sand sculptures are displayed at four unique locations throughout the village. Each artwork tells a story. About life by the sea, tulip fields, the royal family, or the freedom of a timeless beach day. 

In the heart of the village, you'll find sculptures in places you might already know, such as the charming Loopuytpark or the leafy Landalpark Ooghduyne. Stop for a coffee at the Zee van Tijd beach pavilion and watch the coast come to life in the sand. Or combine shopping with admiration at the Dorperweerth shopping center.

The sculptures are located in accessible locations: the pleasant Loopuytpark, Landalpark Ooghduyne, at the Zee van Tijd beach club and the Dorperweerth shopping centre.

 

See how the sculptures are created

In May, you'll see the artists at work live. No machines, no rush. Just sand, water, and their hands. Watch how lines emerge, details grow, and figures appear. A moment of mindfulness in a world of speed.
