Chalk the Walk – Rain Date July 24

City-Wide in Rochester, MN
July 23
Rain Date July 24

RNeighbors, in partnership with the Southeastern Minnesota Poets, and City of Rochester announces the city-wide Chalk the Block Festival, which will take place on July 23, 2022 with a rain date of July 24. This is an opportunity for local artists, poets and community members to create poetry and sidewalk chalk murals in Rochester neighborhoods while connecting with neighbors, creating chalk art with the theme of Creating Memorable Connections!

We’d love to see and share your work once your sidewalk is chalked. You can email us your photos or post them on social media #RochChalktheWalk.

Professional chalk murals paired with poems can be viewed on Sunday, July 24, with the exception of the mural in front  of  Fiddlehead  Coffee, which can be viewed Monday, July 25.
