🎨 We’re trying something new this year, Twin Towns! 🎨

After last year’s Borderline Chalkfest, we kept hearing the same thing from community members: “How can we help support this festival?” And truthfully… you were right. This festival belongs to all of us. It’s the families filling downtown, the kids covered in chalk dust, the music, the laughter, the artists traveling here from around the world, the color run chaos, the food trucks, the memories, and that feeling of pure summer magic that takes over the Twin Towns every July. 🌈☀️

So this year, for the very first time, we are officially opening up community donations to Borderline Chalkfest!

If this festival has ever made you smile, inspired your kids, brought you downtown for the weekend, or made you proud of this community, this is your chance to help keep the magic going. Every donation — big or small — helps us continue bringing this FREE event back year after year, bigger, brighter, and more colorful than ever.

At the end of the day, Borderline Chalkfest only works because of this incredible community behind it… and we are so grateful for every single one of you. 💛

Sunshine, family, fresh air, and making memories together… honestly, that’s what summer is all about. ☀️❤️

And from all of us at Borderline Chalkfest — thank you to those who have served and sacrificed for our country. 🇺🇸

As we start dreaming up the 2026 Borderline Chalkfest 5K Color Run medal… we want to hear from YOU 👀✨
