This year, 17 sculptors from nine countries – Indonesia, the USA, Mongolia, Spain, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia – participated in the creation of the sand sculpture park. Artists have reproduced such world-famous songs as “Hotel California”, “Somewhere over the rainbow”, “No Woman No Cry”, “Take On Me” and others in sand art, visualizing their feelings created by well-known songs.
Today, the sand sculpture park will be open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Park visitors can not only see the sculptors’ masterpieces, but also enjoy an entertainment program for the whole family.
