Sidewalk Chalk Festival

Our city holds a Sidewalk Chalk Festival each year where local artists come out to show their amazing artistic skills with chalk and try to get your vote.  This along with yummy local diner food and the Kona Ice truck made this a wonderful experience! There were two main categories to vote for: high school and advanced. Here are some photos of their amazing work.

Our Favorite in High School

This was my childrens and my husbands favorite, and a close second for me.

When we first came she did not have the storytelling mother filled in yet, when I came back to see it I about cried, it was so beautiful!

But OF COURSE, this captured my heart for obvious reasons!! My favorite!

The Northern Cardinal is the Kentucky state bird, and all the animals included in the eyeball speak of Kentucky nature. Stunning!

    Beautiful! Houston has an annual chalk art show like this, too. It’s amazing what people can do on a sidewalk!

  2. Those are very impressive. And with chalk!

    Hi Dana,

    I know I was pretty impressed too! I wish we could have stayed until the end to see their final work.

    Hi Leslie,

    I know! My youngest daughter kept saying, “Mommy, did they do that with chalk?”

    What a great idea! Our kids would love this.
    Such beautiful works of art.

    Hi Debi! I enjoyed it so much, but the kids enjoyed it even more than I did! They were so inspired they came home and took out their tub of sidewalk chalk and made their own masterpieces on our driveway!

    What an incredible event! And the artists are so talented. This makes me wish we had a concrete drive, ours is gravel, but the kids do use the top of the cellar sometimes :-) .
    Regarding comments at HSB, I’ve been very frustrated with the changes but have been seeing improvements over the past few days.
    Have a great day! Julie

    Hi Julie!

    Glad to hear that there are some improvements happening at HSB.
    I’ll check back soon to see if it will let me sign in.

    That was just stunning. I had to just call my daughter from bed to see them. I think the cardinal is my favorite also. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.
    Blessings
