More than 200 professional, amateur and student artists will return to Larimer Square this weekend for the 12th annual Denver Chalk Art Festival.
Over the course of the free, three-day festival (Friday through Sunday), artists work on their hands and knees to transform Larimer Square into a street museum while festival-goers enjoy live music, fab food and refreshing beverages.
For the second year in a row, the Denver Chalk Art Festival kicks-off today with the Friday Night Lights happy hour, featuring drink specials, a chance to watch artists begin their weekend work, an interactive art project and the music of Mistura Fina (featuring jobs guru and my pal Andrew Hudson).
On Saturday, festival-goers can explore Le Jardin Secret – Larimer Square’s new, weekly, French-inspired chefs’ market. The final day of the festival begins with Chalk and Chakras, a free yoga class open to yogis and novices alike. Bring a mat and join the artists for sun salutations and downward dogs in the company of masterpieces.
Here’s the schedule:
Friday – Festival set-up begins at 6 a.m., preliminary artist work begins at 2 p.m.; Friday Night Lights runs from 5 to 10 p.m.
Saturday – Le Jardin Secret chefs’ market launches in the Bistro Vendome Courtyard at 9:30 a.m.; festival runs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Sunday – Chalk and Chakras begins at 10 a.m.; festival runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
