gathering in downtown Maple Grove are common sights during the annual Chalkfest Maple Grove, which draws more than 25,000 spectators
annually. Taking place June 10th and 11th,
Chalkfest Maple Grove is a free, 2-day street art festival with entertainment,
food, and family fun! Chalkfest features sidewalk chalk art by professionals,
amateurs & art enthusiasts from across the world! PLUS back by popular
demand is the Chalkfest at Arbor Lakes Mural Tour. Sixteen sites were chosen in
and around Arbor Lakes to place 8’ x 8’ murals painted by Chalkfest artists. To
keep this event fresh and new, we need sponsors to help pay the artists and
materials fees. You will be able view the murals at your leisure anytime from
May 15th to July 17th.
Chalkfest will feature sidewalk
chalk art by more than 40 professionals, amateurs and art enthusiasts from
around the world and as far away as Mexico, Ukraine and Colombia. Main Street Maple
Grove is transformed into a street art gallery open for public
viewing. Don’t forget to snap a photo in one of the 3D art pieces! Talk about
AMAZING selfies! There are also public chalking areas for spectators, so bring
your creativity along!
This year, instead of a People’s Choice Award, where the
public purchased marbles to vote for their
favorite artist, there will be tip jars at each artist
square for you to show appreciation for their
work and the money goes directly to the artist.
