SEPTEMBER, 2016 UPDATE! Found yet another sea glass festival to add, this one in Long Beach Island, NJ, October 1 & 2. See our guide below.
UPDATE! Just discovered three more summer sea glass festivals, one in Rhode Island at Misquamicut Beach, one in Point Pleasant Beach on the Jersey Shore and one in Ashtabula, Ohio! I’ve added these to the list below.
The second half of the 2016 sea glass festival season in full swing! There are, at this count, at least nine festivals this summer and fall celebrating the aura surrounding sea glass.
Every year it seems that more major sea glass events pop up, meaning that sea glass continues to be a trending topic.
Already this year eight sea glass festivals have taken place so you can expect that in 2017 there will be as many as sixteen festivals in the US celebrating the love of sea glass from coast to coast and even in Hawaii!
Check our list to see if there is a sea glass festival coming to a location near you!
Have a bountiful sea glass summer!
