Prizes and Notoriety Guaranteed!

Prizes for…

  • Best Costume
  • Beachiest Pet
  • Best Pet Trick

  • …and whatever else our wholly unqualified, volunteer judges might decide to award!

The Sand Flea Pet Parade is a fun event on the beach during the annual SandSations Sand Sculpture competition.  Stop by our tent during the castle building to say hello, get a dog cookie and a fresh drink of water and to register for the Parade.  There’s no entry fee, but donations are always welcome and we’ll have raffle tickets for sale for our BIG RAFFLE.

This event is very informal.  Our emcee will ask everyone registered for a particular competition to enter the ring and parade in a circle.  Our photographers will be snapping pics as the judges deliberate and then the winner is announced and prizes are awarded, thanks to generous merchants and business sponsors!

Want to see photos of events past?  They’re over on funbeach.com, on the SandSations page.  And they’re pretty darned cute, too.

Entry Fee: $0!

Where: At the Humane Society tent on the beach at the foot of Bolstad Avenue in Long Beach (in front of the Boardwalk).  We’re easy to find.  Just head to the beach from the main stoplight in downtown Long Beach (Bolstad Avenue) and look for our big, striped tent, which is near the SandSations trailer/booth.  Seriously: if you get that far, you can’t miss us!
