Halloween Theme
With the appropriate theme of “Halloween” to work with, 250 artists from all over the country converged on Sarasota this weekend for the unique “Chalk Festival”. Pineapple Avenue in downtown Sarasota was turned into a huge canvas, and spectators were drawn into the show.
From whimsical to scary; classic to weird – the creations were done completely in chalk on pavement, sometimes with amazing results. 3-D looking pictures wowed the crowds more than anything, as perspective seemingly warped on a city street.
The Chalk Festival is just one of the hundreds of fun family events that take place in Sarasota all year round. We love living here!
