Come one, come all to the extraordinary and exciting community festival. Fun With Chalk features hundreds of artists of all ages and levels of accomplishment creating Old Masters and Original Works directly on the asphalt. Many of the artists come from hundreds of miles away to participate in this renowned once-a-year event. Local artists will display their oil, watercolor, sculpture and photographic works at the festival in a true celebration of the arts.

Free admission and parking, free music, demonstrations and stage
entertainment for the entire family add up to an event you won’t want to miss. The delicious food and beverages at moderate prices will cater to every taste. A special and exciting demonstration by world-famous performance artist Javier Alvarez Palomar will take place both days. On Sunday the exciting and extraordinary group, Hayucaltia, will have you on your feet dancing to their unique blend of jazz, rock, Andean rhythms and American music.

Fun art workshops will be held all weekend long in this extravaganza of creative activity. This award-winning festival benefits fine-art programs in the Saddleback and Capistrano school districts, provides scholarships for graduating high school seniors and enriches the lives of children who have been victims of domestic violence.
