CHALK IT UP AROUND THE TOWN!
2020 is our 30th Anniversary, and while current events are changing the format of our festival, we are just thrilled to celebrate arts and artists with you this year at “Chalk It Up! Around the Town!” This year our festival will come to life on sidewalks, parking lots and driveways throughout the Greater Sacramento Region on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, September 5 – 7, 2020 (Labor Day Weekend).
With Covid-19 restrictions on public gatherings, the Festival is transforming into Chalk It Up! Around The Town! where our volunteer chalk artists will be dispatched to locations throughout the greater Sacramento region.
What about the music? In 2020, Chalk It Up! is inviting musicians from all over Sacramento to support our mission by creating concert sets that will become a 3-day Sacramento live music streaming festival from their quarantine locations. Music streams available through ChalkItUp.org and to be announced streaming platforms. So far, we’re happy to announce sets from: Dog Party, Kevin and Allyson Seconds, Kepi, Honyock, Mike Blanchard & the Californios, Ryan Thompson, Gabe Nelson, Seas of Bees and The Light Rays (and more to be announced soon). For media or band info contact Media@ChalkItUp.org!
During the festival explore art & music on our virtual map.
