Head to Onset Beach on Saturday, July 16 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the Onset Bay Association’s Family Beach Day.

Local sand-sculpting icon Rodney the Sandman will be on hand, and buckets, rakes and shovels will be provided on a first come, first served basis. Prizes will be given to the best sandcastles in the children’s family and individual categories.

This year, the event will be combined with the Kite Festival, so make-and-take $5 kites will be available. Pre-made kites will be available for sale.

This event is free to attend, but donations are always welcome. 

In case of rain, the event will be held on Sunday, July 17.

For more information, to volunteer or donate, contact onsetvillage@gmail.com or go to www.onsetbay.org.
