The Revere Beach International Sand Sculpting Festival is back for a 21st year this weekend, and street closures and parking bans begin today.
The three-day festival brings hundreds of thousands of people to Revere Beach Boulevard to watch 15 master sand sculptors compete for prizes. Organizers say it’s the largest free event in Massachusetts.
