Building sandcastle on the beach

Sunday, June 26, 2011
Noon - 3 p.m.
Bush Lake Beach

Join Bloomington in celebration of our nation's birth! Bloomington kicks off Independence Day week with the annual Sandcastles party at Bush Lake Beach, located at 9140 E. Bush Lake Road.

  • Sandcastle building contest – Prizes for the best sandcastle or sand sculpture will be up for grabs! Bring the family out to compete for one of the top prizes. There will be several categories based on age or entire family to break down the competition. Check back later for more information on available prizes.
  • Party games and contests – These will be held throughout the day for kids and adults alike, while beach party music will fill the air.

A parking fee of $6 will apply, or you can buy a season pass for $30 for the first vehicle ($12.50 for a second vehicle, if purchased at the same time). Lifeguards will be on duty starting at 11 a.m.

THANK YOU to our Sandcastles sponsors!
