Sat 9/17 + Sun 9/18
Bust out the chalk and let the sidewalks be your canvas. The 2011 Chalk Festival is here. Join professional artists to create super cool chalk displays.
About: “Begun in 1990, our festival is a modern expression of a Renaissance tradition from 16th-century Italy, in which beggars copied paintings of the Madonna by Raphael and his contemporaries, using chalk on the plazas outside cathedrals. Watching the chalk artists and enjoying the entertainment is free.” For adults and kids. Open Sat 9/17 from 11AM – 5PM and Sun 9/18 from noon – 5PM.
