About the Sand & Sea Festival at Salisbury Beach

Reconnecting People with the Salisbury Seashore

The 2nd Annual Sand and Sea Festival at Salisbury Beach is a celebration of one of Massachusetts’s most popular beaches and pristine natural resources North of Boston, Salisbury Beach. 

Fun in the Sun

The Sand & Sea Festival highlights the many fun seaside recreational uses of our four mile shoreline by showcasing activities such as sea doo-ing and surfing, as well as marine aquatic programming.  On the sandside, activities such as kite-flying, yoga, family entertainment, live music on a beachfront stage, and the largest fireworks display north of Boston brought the Salisbury Center Beach alive during the festival. 

Festival-goers experience the many shops, arcades, food concession stands and nostalgia that have sustained the legendary beach destination since its beginnings in the1800s as an elegant oceanside resort. 

Exciting Changes Planned for the Future

From roller coasters to opulent hotels and dance halls, the Salisbury Beach waterfront attracted thousands of families to frolic, picnic and enjoy the sea and sand during the day, and dance in ballrooms or watch movies under the moonlight.  As Salisbury prepares for the excitement of a renewed Beach Center, now is an opportune time to introduce audiences to the excitement the future will bring.
