The Revere Beach International Sand Sculpting Festival is not just an event where magnificent sand creations come to life; it’s a celebration of art, creativity, and community. Beyond the awe-inspiring sculptures, the festival provides a unique opportunity to support emerging shop businesses and nonprofit organizations.

New to the festival this year is The Beach Shop Pavilion! This area is dedicated to highlight local Revere businesses, emerging small businesses, or non-profit. We have partnered with UPNEXT who helps reimagine retail by helping businesses cultivate opportunities for brands to test new markets, like attendees of the Revere Beach International Sand Sculpting Festival, through pop-ups, creative collaborations, and retail strategy. 

We have 19 businesses who will be participating at The Beach Shop Pavilion and you can find them under the pavilions next to the Reinstein Bandstand. Keep reading to learn about each company!
