🖍️ What happens when you give an artist a sidewalk and a box of chalk?

Something amazing.

At Chalk & Cheese Festival, professional and community artists transform the pavement into colorful works of art for everyone to enjoy.

And the best part? You can be part of it!

Artists of all ages and experience levels are welcome. Whether you consider yourself an artist or just want to try something new, there’s a place for you at Chalk & Cheese.

Come create something that won’t last forever, but will definitely be remembered. 🎨✨

Avoid the line at 10:30 am! Download the PDF, complete the form, and bring it with you on the day of the event.
