The nationally celebrated Circles in the Sand beach art returns to Florence October 14 on the beach at Driftwood Shores Resort and Conference Center from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m.
“This is always an uplifting event at a great time of year to visit Florence’s beaches,” said Bettina Hannigan, president/CEO of the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce. “People come from all over. It’s wildly artistic, spiritually uplifting for many, and incredibly unique among beach events anywhere in the country.”
A giant labyrinth will be carved in the sand beginning at 3:00 p.m. by expert sand artist Denny Dyke.
A public walkthrough begins around 5:00 p.m. High tide is at 1:17 p.m., low tide will be at 7:54 p.m., and sunset will be at 7:02 p.m., making this window of time a prime opportunity for families and friends to enjoy the wide swaths of uncrowded beach for treasure hunting, sandcastle making, and creating lasting memories here in Oregon’s Coastal Playground.
The event is free to attend and will be held rain or shine. NBC Nightly News gave national coverage to Dykes’ beach labyrinth events in September 2019. Note: parking is at a premium, so organizers ask the public’s respect for neighbor’s property and recommend carpooling. The event is sponsored by Driftwood Shores Resort and Conference Center, Sea Lion Caves, Florence Area Chamber of Commerce, Lofy Construction, Sand Dunes Frontier, Sand Master Park/Venomous Sandboards, BJ’s Old Fashioned Ice Cream, and Mo’s Seafood Restaurant. Shuttle service will be available, stay tuned for more information.
