This is our 10th year, and we need your help to make it our best yet.
For 10 years, ELAF, with no charge to the public has brought artists, musicians and communities together to create breathtaking temporary art from nothing but natural materials. No trace left behind. Just a deeper connection to the land — and to each other.
From 14–19 July 2026 in Dunbar, we'll be hosting five days of sand art, mandalas, rock stacking, woodland workshops and live music — completely free for everyone to attend and join in.

Sharing the positive benefits of witnessing or creating land art with everyone
European Land Art Festival (elaf) was established back in 2016 as The John Muir Stone Stacking Challenge by Dunbar artist James Craig Page and entrepreneur Steven Hill, to promote the joys and benefits of stone stacking.
The festival has undergone a few changes since then and has evolved from a three-day competition to a week-long celebration that now also includes land art demonstrations, workshops and live music, attracting visitors and artists from all over the world.
