Capitola Beach Festival Seeks Float Builders

Capitola Beach Festival returns to Capitola Village on Sept. 24 and 25. The Beach Festival picks up where the Begonia Festival left off, providing two days of traditional family-friendly outdoor activities: Sand Sculpture Contest, Concert, Parade, Fishing Derby, Horseshoes, Chalk Art and Rowboat Races.

This year the Festival has added a Scavenger Hunt, a Disc Golf Popup, and Corn Hole on the Beach.

Float builders are needed for the Saturday evening Lighted Nautical Parade on Soquel Creek.

This night-time parade thrills the crowd with illuminated barges that shimmer on the water as they gently float down Soquel Creek. The barge decorations have ranged from recycled holiday lights to computer-driven light shows.

Creative builders will add music selections and tall tales to capture the Festival’s 2022 theme: “The Marvel of it All.”

The Festival has a limited number of barges and building sites available.

You provide the lights and the fun.

The top three finishers receive cash awards for their favorite nonprofit.
