On Saturday, October 25, Leap Arts in Education will take over Ocean Beach to host the largest sandcastle contest in Northern California; featuring team competition, food trucks, and live music all day.
Each year, Leap orchestrates the spectacular Sandcastle Classic as its major fundraising event. Funds raised from the Sandcastle Classic ensure that Leap can continue its important mission to keep the arts alive in Bay Area schools. Leap’s 2025 goal is to raise more than $300,000.
The 2025 Sandcastle Classic theme is Level Up! and nods to video games old and new, whether at an arcade or on a console, computer or phone. We encourage teams to “Level Up” their creations to hit a new high score! Costumes are encouraged!
