This year, West Palm Beach is celebrating the holiday season with the amazing Sandy the Sand Tree, a giant tree made entirely of sand. Standing 35 feet tall and weighing 700 tons, Sandy is the world’s only holiday sand tree, and it brings a special kind of magic to the city every December.
Sandy is located on the waterfront and is decorated with colorful lights that work together with music every night from 6 to 10 p.m., creating a fun and festive atmosphere for visitors. This year also features new events like a New Year’s Eve celebration with fireworks downtown.
Building Sandy takes weeks and hundreds of tons of sand, showing how creativity and teamwork can turn something simple into a beautiful holiday tradition. The tree reminds everyone that even sand can bring joy and wonder during the holidays!
