Sand Sculpture festival in Denmark begins May 23

Finally, in Denmark, the 14th Hundested Sand Sculpture Festival kicks off on Friday.

The annual event will feature sand sculptures crafted by 16 international artists, centered around this year's theme of "Showtime."

Visitors can expect to see detailed representations of entertainment icons such as Charlie Chaplin and Miss Piggy, as well as circus clowns.

The festival also offers diverse family-friendly activities, including sculpting workshops, sand painting, and treasure hunts.

As the festival runs through October 19, the sculptures are made of sand mixed with clay to ensure they last until autumn.

The sand is reused each year.
