From the Festival" "Last year was a HUGE success. We had over 4,000 people attend the festival throughout the weekend and we hope to have an even bigger outcome this year. We will have local bands performing throughout the weekend, an open chalking area for anyone who feels inspired, face painting, and raffles. If you have any comments or suggestions on ways we could make the festival even better please do not hesitate to contact us."

What is Chalk Art?
"Chalk art is an ephemeral form of art. Ephemeral is a word originating from the Greek word Ephemeros, which means "Lasting only one day". Many believe that part of the beauty of chalk art is the impermanence of it. Chalk artists often use pastels to create vivid drawings and 3D images on streets and sidewalks. The surfaces they work on are usually asphalt or concrete, but sometimes can include bricks, pavers, and smooth stone."
