season-long, statewide program
of internationally acclaimed
performing-arts gatherings. Tattoo shows take place at the Scope

Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday at 2:30 p.m., but the fun starts
two hours beforehand at Tattoo
Hullabaloo, where visitors can
interact with dancers and musicians and vote in an audiencejudged musical competition.

Texas SandFest
Forget the seashells.
You’ll find towering
castles, lounging mermaids,
enormous elephants, and robotic
dinosaurs lining Port Aransas’
seashore during SandFest, the
city’s annual spectacle of erodible sculpture. In 1995, Sharon
Schaefer and Elleece Calvert
started SandFest as a “play on the
beach” kind of day on the Gulf of
Mexico’s shore, which aimed to
help children build imaginative
structures. Today, it’s among the
largest master sand-sculpting
competitions in the U.S., with
more than 100,000 visitors each
year. For three days, artists from
coast to coast gather to create aweinspiring wonders using nothing
but water, sand, and improvised
carving tools. They scramble
for 21 hours to produce the final
forms for judging. And for those of
you eager to get your hands dirty,
there’s a contest for amateurs of
all ages on Saturday, when you
can join more than 200 other
beginners in creating a seaside
masterpiece. In a nod to the power
of the ocean, organizers choose
each year’s dates to coincide with
the lowest tides, giving the sculptures—and spectators—an extra
day or two to bask in the Texas
sun. From $3; texassandfest.com
