Big Wave Dave - Lakefront Living Show - Events

Big Wave Dave
March 28-30th, 2008 -Grand Rapids
When Big Wave Dave isn't wearing a Santa costume as his alter-ego, Big Wave Santa, he's building the most magnificent and elaborate sand castles Michigan beaches have ever seen.
Originally hailing from South Padre Island, at the very southern tip of Texas, he moved to New Haven, Michigan to be closer to his wife’s family.
Along with a string of local builds, he still flies back down to South Padre Island each October for Sand Castle Days, an event started by fellow famous builders, Amazin' Walter and Sandy Feet, over fifteen years ago. Some of the world’s best sand sculptors come to the festival each year to compete on one of the best beaches in North America. Though it is typically known as a Spring Break destination, Dave says October is the best month for weather and relaxation.
At the show, he will be building with his daughter and fellow sand sculpture expert, Sara Sunshine.
Take a look at some of Big Wave Dave's past work!

West Michigan Cottage & Lakefront Living Show - 2nd Annual - Grand Rapids

Cottage & Lakefront Living Show - Grand Rapids
Unspoiled, Timeless and True...
March 28-30, 2008
Say "the cottage" to almost any Michigander and memories rush forward like waves: the screech of gulls, or the squeal of old oarlocks; falling asleep to the rhythm of the surf, or waking to a chorus of frogs; sand in the sheets, or fish scales in the sink. Mostly, though, they're memories of family, because here in the Great Lake State the cottage is a tradition that's handed down from one generation to the next. Such an extraordinary part of life in West Michigan deserves to be promoted with an exceptional show.
