Started in 2015, Chalk Art Festival is a Free event designed to bring the community together in Downtown Yakima through Art. Trained Artists create fabulous, elaborate chalk art masterpieces in connection with the yearly theme. They are surrounded by community members who have at it with free chalk provided by the Downtown Association, creating a family-friendly outing with community members spread out across a full block.
All the festivities occur amid the backdrop of live music and food vendors in historic Downtown Yakima. The day of fun culminates with the award ceremony where The People’s Choice Winner is announced along with the judge’s selections.
The entire event is put on by DAY and its volunteers, and is held the 2nd Saturday in October.
