A team of artists from the United States, Russia, China, Great Britain, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium came together in Blankenberge to create a piece of art, that also can be considered as a technical masterpiece.

Young and old can be fascinated by the magical Disney tales and stories, brought to life in tons of sand. This is the place where dreams really do come true.
