We spent our Labor Day weekend at the 25th Annual Chalk it Up Festival in Fremont Park Sacramento. This was our first Chalk it Up experience and we loved it! The festival is all free and the artists were great. Some were very impressive in terms of what they were able to create using chalk as a medium. The girls loved cruising by the sidewalks and picking out their favorite artwork. There was also a kids area where they were able to embrace their inner artists and draw and paint with watercolors. It was a very fun way to spend Labor Day weekend!



A very talented chalk artist creating a 3 dimensional piece
