Enjoy music, food trucks, and activities while soaking up the last moments of summer at Amazement Square’s Annual Riverfront Chalk Festival & Art Contest! Artists of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities are invited to register for the Chalk Art Contest and compete to win a cash prize, with the highest award being $1,000! The Festival is FREE to attend! Volunteers for this event can either come to the museum the day before or the day of the festival to help us prepare for and facilitate the event. The day before, Friday the 22nd, we will be cleaning and preparing the parking lot from 4pm-about 7pm. Those volunteering during the festival, which takes place from 10am-2pm on the 23rd, will assist with setup and our activity stations. Anyone interested in assisting on both days is more than welcome.
