Event Exhibition in Lignano Sabbiadoro at Lungomare Trieste, 7:
Now in its 23rd edition, we are delighted to present the magnificent Sand Nativity Scene in Lignano Sabbiadoro. The theme of the new 2026 edition is currently being defined. The inauguration is expected to take place around 5 December 2026, while the location will remain unchanged: a large structure set up near Beach Office No. 6.
A long-standing event by the sea, the Sand Nativity Scene has been attracting tens of thousands of visitors from all over Europe for years. It is an artistic masterpiece that continues to explore new techniques and evolve, celebrating and conveying the meaning of Christmas and the birth of Jesus for the past 23 years.
The theme of the 23rd edition of the Sand Nativity Scene will be revealed soon
Over the years the nativity scene has studied many conceptual aspects and religious themes, ranging from symbols and works, which refer to the most classic Neapolitan nativity scene, up to recognizable settings with values and beliefs of the land in which we live. The interior fittings have been renovated with various technological components, everything has been designed with great attention to maximally enhance the beauty of the sculptural works on display.
The Sand Nativity in Lignano maintains a relationship with various professionals of the Sand Academy, organized by the Dome Aghe Savalon d’Aur Association, a large team made up of valiant artists, the guys who will create these wonderful works come from all Italian regions. An experience of almost 40 years of work, which since the beginning of this exhibition, collaborates with the city and the proloco of Lignano sabbiadoro in the realization of this great work on the sand.
We remind you that the crib is created without the use of glues or other similar materials for maintenance! only water, sand, and the skilled work of professionals in the sector are used.
The secret for its maintenance, creation and stability lies in compressing all the sand with great care for days.
