After a fantastic inaugural year, the City of Salida Creative District program presents the 2nd annual Salida Chalk Festival on Saturday, June 28, from 11am-5pm in downtown Salida. This year's theme is CELEBRATE NATURE. 💛 View colorful works of chalk that celebrate the natural world.

Over 20 professional, emerging, and award- winning regional and local artists from across Colorado will gather in downtown Salida to create giant art works of chalk and pastel. Enjoy a colorful outdoor gallery on the street!

The public can also register to participate in adult or youth categories. Watch for details. Limited space available. A Kiddie Zone will also be available.

Plus enjoy live music by S-Town All Stars. Stay for the Awards Ceremony. Free Admission!

Produced by the Salida Creative District and Salida Arts and Culture in partnership with the Salida Public Arts Commission, the 2nd annual Salida Chalk Festival will transform downtown Salida into a giant outdoor gallery of colorful murals as artists create 6’ x 6' temporary art works of chalk and pastel. Like the historical tradition of Madonnari street artists of Italy, artists will create works of chalk art in real time during the festival.
