About the event
The event features over two dozen arts and crafts booths, nonprofit organizations, a kids' corner, and food vendors. Experience an amazing array of locally created art, jewelry, and woodworking. Feed that hunger by supporting our local food trucks, which serve up a variety of tasty food options.
The main highlight of the event is the sidewalk and street chalk paintings that are created throughout the day. Supported by our generous sponsors and brought to life by our talented volunteer artists, these squares transform from gray concrete paths into beautiful expressions of artistic vision! Chalk artists start working on these masterpieces early in the morning, and the public is encouraged to observe their progress throughout the day.
