Photos from Chalk It Up Festival 2021

There is such a fun, cool vibe at the Chalk It Up Festival. We always walk around the perimeter of the park first to check out the awe-inspiring art that talented locals have created. Then we wander through the middle, browsing booths with arts and crafts and finding the perfect treat to eat while watching a live band perform. Chalk It Up Festival 2022 will be held September 3 – 5 in Fremont Park.
