Over a span of 48+ hours, more than 200 professional, amateur and student artists will use chalk to paint thousands of square feet of raw pavement into re-creations of masterpieces, modern art and their own original pieces during the Denver Chalk Art Festival in the Denver Golden Triangle District. The FREE festival, Saturday & Sunday, June 6 & 7, 2026, transforms streets and sidewalks into a temporary outdoor art museum.
