Some city sidewalks will become temporary works of art during the first New Haven Chalk Festival, taking place 10 a.m.–6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 20 (rain date: Sunday, Aug. 21).
The festival — to be held on Broadway Island, across from Apple and J.Crew — will bring together children, amateur and professional artists, and artist groups to create chalk masterpieces, while competing for prizes in different categories.
