The Hudson Valley Chalk Festival will be back this summer at Water Street Market in New Paltz July 22-24.  The Hudson Valley Chalk Festival is always one of the most fun weekends of the summer.  It's something the whole family can enjoy together.

There will be over 20 of the top professional artists, and many local artists too.  You will be able to watch as they transform a boring parking lot into a work of art.  There will also be live music, raffles, an open chalking area, face painting, corn hole and many more fun activities for everyone, no matter how young or old.  And the Hudson Valley Chalk Festival is free.

And if you want to learn about chalking, artist Michael Las Casas will be teaching two workshops on Thursday July 21 before the festival. The hour long workshops will be held at Water Street Market at 10am and 6pm. Everyone is welcome and it's free.   For information, and to see some of the chalk art, visit https://www.facebook.com/HVchalkfestival/
