Described as the largest sand sculpture event in the world [1] [2] [3], the International Sand Sculpture Festival or Festival Internacional de Escultura em Areia (FIESA) has been held in Pêra, Algarve annually since 2003. The site at 37°07′44″N 8°19′52″W / 37.1289°N 8.3310°W occupies 15,000 square metres (3.7 acres).
Each year about 60 artists use 35000 tons of sand to create 50 works of art. Each year the exhibition has a different theme: 2009: discoveries[4], 2008: Hollywood films and characters, 2007: wonders of the World[5], 2006: mythology[6]. The exhibition is open in the evenings with atmospheric lighting[7].
