We're excited to welcome back Chalk Art Fest live and in person this summer! With safety measures in place, we invite you to join us for a lively and colorful weekend.
In its 5th year, this free, two-day street painting festival, brings together hundreds of artists that spend hours transforming the blank pavement at Schwiebert Park into magnificent works of art, using only using chalk. Visitors strolling by can see the wonderful works of art as they come to life, vote for their favorite, and even do some chalk art of their own by taking part in the community piece. Live music, a variety of food and drink vendors, and children’s activities are all part of the festivities. Over $1,600 in cash prizes will be awarded including a people’s choice and youth category award.
