Calling all artists! Whether your talent gets mistaken for Monet or your tools of choice are Crayola crayons, this feature allows any professional or amateur to leave their mark on West 7th. The free event takes place Saturday, Aug. 15 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
This all-day chalk extravaganza will give attendees the chance to see a street mural completed by professional artists, participate in an amateur competition, kick back to live music and provide a spot for children to express their creativity.

Prizes will be available for first, second and third place winners by a board of celebrity judges. Participants have a chance at winning a cash or gift card prize to various West 7th businesses. A People's Choice Award will also be available.
