Sand Globe Festivity on Albany Beach

Sand Globe Festivity on Albany Beach! A Free Community Create & Play Event.

At this event, environmental artist Zach Pine will teach everyone to make sand globes. It takes just 5 minutes for your first one! We'll use sand globes to make spontaneous, evolving, and ephemeral creations together, play cooperative sand globe games like "pass the peas," learn to catch and juggle sand globes, and aim to break the world record for largest sand globe (a bit bigger than a basketball).

We'll be there from 11am-3pm, please show up at anytime!

*Note that the event is on the very Southeast end of the beach, near the parking lot.

Sand globe creativity and playfulness are spreading over the earth through the project Sand Globes Worldwide. See more worldwide photos and follow on Instagram.

Accessibility:

By design, the event offers opportunities for everyone to participate and join in however they wish. Our site at the south end of the beach (near the parking lot) is paved, and our activities will be in that area and the adjacent sandy area, and we'll provide tabletop surfaces as needed. Restrooms are also wheelchair accessible.

Transportation:

Parking is limited, so carpooling and biking or walking are highly encouraged! We have set up a carpooling page for arranging carpools.
