Participants of all ages are encouraged to come out and transform the park’s sidewalks into colorful works of art. Each participant will receive a designated sidewalk square along with chalk and paint supplies to create their own masterpiece. Whether they are experienced artists or simply looking for a fun family activity, participants will find Chalk the Walk to be a creative and welcoming experience for everyone.
In addition to sidewalk art, attendees can enjoy vendors from the Sauk Valley Area Chamber’s middle school students’ entrepreneurship program and food trucks throughout the event. The Kiwanis Club will operate the concession stand, offering food, snacks, and refreshments for purchase.
Commemorative Chalk the Walk T-shirts will also be available for purchase while supplies last, giving participants a chance to take home a special keepsake from the event.
Organizers said they are excited to bring the community together for a day of creativity, fun, and family-friendly entertainment. They noted that the event provides a great opportunity for residents to showcase their artistic talents while enjoying one of Sterling’s beautiful parks.
There is no cost to participate, and everyone is welcome to attend.
