Yoshida's Sand in the City features fun for all ages with incredible sand sculptures, interactive youth exhibits, live music, entertainment and more!
The excitement begins on Friday, July 18th, when amateur corporate sponsored teams have only six hours to build an elaborate sand sculpture, designed with the help of an architect and sand mentor. The teams will have trained and practiced for more than six weeks in an attempt to win the coveted Golden Shovel award. Competition is fierce on building day!
In addition to the visually stunning sand sculptures, Yoshida's Sand in the City hosts outstanding activities for kids at the Children's Inspiration Village. Families can inter-act with the Kids on the Block puppets, experiment with science and do sand art projects! After enjoying food and drinks, kids can build their own castle in our giant Sand Box, have their face painted, or take in one of our live performances happening all weekend.

A film exploring the systematic corporate takeover and potential loss of humanity’s most precious and ancient inheritance: seeds. How do GMOs affect our children, the health of our planet and our freedom of choice? Is it even possible to reject the food system currently in place, or have we lost something we can’t get back?
Post-film panel/Q & A with Scott Bates, head of Oregon Right to Know (the current ballot initiative to require labeling of GMO foods sold in Oregon) and farmers who helped win bans on growing GMO crops in Jackson and Josephine counties.
