The construction of the sandy town for this year's tenth anniversary edition of the festival has already started. This year’s festival will bring together the best and the most interesting ideas over the years. Its theme is "Sandy Tales", which will take the visitors back to their childhood where time has stopped and everything is cheerful and carefree.
Twenty one talented sculptors from all around the world, including 11 Bulgarian artists, will be the "culprits" of the unique fairytale atmosphere that will take place at the Sea Garden this summer. In order to make the vision of the figures more attractive, a creative and unusual plot has been required, so that the final image can be impressive and interesting enough for the audience. Sculptures are expected to show a new version of some favorite characters such as Batman, Shrek, Cinderella, Yoda, Smurfs, Little Prince and others.
The fairytale city will open in the beginning of July and in good weather will be working for its visitors until the end of September. The location is the same – Ezero Park near the Horse Base and the prices of tickets are unchanged – 1.50 BGN for pensioners and students, 2.50 BGN for a group ticket, 3.50 BGN for a normal ticket and free entrance for children under 7 years and for disabled persons .
In previous editions of the festival, visitors could see sandy images of local stars – Kubrat Pulev, The Bulgarian rulers – Khan Asparuh and Khan Krum, the musical legends – Beatles, remarkable scientists – Einstein, unforgettable movies – Star wars, favorite children's tales – "Winnie the Pooh" and "King Lion" and others.
