About Chalk the Block

Chalk the Block isn’t just about drawing on sidewalks and streets. There are interactive art installations, live bands, a sidewalk chalk art competition, a vendor marketplace, food trucks, and chalk.

Lots of chalk.

If you’ve never taken the kiddos, you are really missing out on a kid-friendly experience they will absolutely love. I mean, what kid doesn't like to chalk up sidewalks?

Since its inception 16 years ago, the free and family-friendly festival has become the largest free public arts festival in the Southwest.
