Spikin’ in the Street 2024
Get ready to dig, spike, and dive at the 2nd Annual New Ulm Spikin' in the Street Sand Volleyball Tournament - right in the heart of our historic downtown! On August 2-3, 2024, the streets of New Ulm will be transformed into a thrilling beach volleyball arena, where teams from all over the region will compete for glory and bragging rights. This action-packed event is set to become a summer highlight, bringing together athletes, sports enthusiasts, and community members of all ages. Last year 600 tons of sand (38 dump trucks!) were brought in to transform the street - this year we are expanding into a second block and adding FOUR additional courts! We were only going to add 2, but due to demand (and support from sponsors), we are doubling our footprint from last year!
Volunteers are needed for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! From sand assistance and event cleanliness to bouncy house observation and team registration tables, there are options! To sign up to volunteer, click here!
The tournament itself will be on Saturday only but come down on Friday evening for the unique opportunity of hanging out in the sand... in the middle of downtown.

The feat of bringing tons of sand downtown is quite the effort! HUGE shout-out the our event committee and all of the businesses who have stepped up to help make this happen! Spikin' In The Street is privately funded (no tax-payer dollars) by our amazing local businesses and organized by volunteers and the Chamber of Commerce. This event could not happen without their support.
