Presented by Chalk It Up! Sacramento at Fremont Park, Sacramento CA

BUY TICKETS

The Chalk It Up! Chalk Art & Music Festival is a three-day celebration of local artists and the arts community — one of the last of the free, family-friendly festivals in Midtown Sacramento.

Since 1991, we have hosted a safe and clean festival at Fremont Park at 16th & Q Streets in Midtown Sacramento where the community can listen to live local musicians, patronize local craft, maker, and food vendors in the marketplace, and watch local artists turn the sidewalks around Fremont Park into colorful works of art. This is part performance art, as the artists create the work during the festival. Community members come from throughout the greater Sacramento Valley region several times over the 3-day weekend to watch the artwork come to life.

The Chalk It Up Festival is a Sacramento Labor Day Weekend tradition and a gift to the community from Chalk It Up to Sacramento, a local non-profit organization. Thanks to the help and partnership of our generous sponsors, donors, and volunteers, we’ve kept it 100 percent free to the public for 35 years!
