After recent heavy rains and strong winds that caused damage to several sand sculptures on Pasta (Post) Island, the Sand Sculpture Park has now been restored and reopened to visitors. Two professional sculptors – Sanita Rāviņa and Inese Valtere – have carried out careful restoration work to preserve both the form and ideological message of the sculptures.

This year’s sand sculpture festival theme is “Mythical Figures”, offering visitors the chance to explore mythical creatures from cultures around the world – from ancient Greek to Asian legends. 17 sculptors from 11 countries participated in the festival, and each of them created a unique work of art in sand. In addition to the competition sculptures, the park also features the largest sculpture of the year – “Medusa”, created by two artists from Latvia.

The Sand Sculpture Park is open daily from 10 am to 7 pm, except for June 23 and 24, when it will be closed. On June 25, the park will open from 12 pm to 6 pm.

Entrance fee:

• Adults: €3
• Schoolchildren, students, seniors, and persons with disabilities: €2
• Children under 7 years of age: Free

Tickets can be purchased on-site at Pasta (Post) Island, at the entrance booth. Payment is available by cash or card.
