To celebrate it’s 18th anniversary, the 2010 Pasadena Chalk Festival will attempt to make history by setting the Guinness World Record for the Largest Display of Chalk Pavement Art! More than 500 artists come from all across Southern California to spend two days on their hands and knees creating 175 spectacular chalk murals on concrete areas in every style imaginable.
In addition to the extraordinary opportunity to watch artists at work, there will be live music an entertainment throughout the weekend. Families and children can create complimentary Father’s Day cards in KID’S CHALKLAND, and have their faces painted by face painters in a designated area for the children.
Be on the lookout at the end of the festival for prizes for Best Overall, Best Technique, Best Use of Color and more. Festival visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite murals as well. Pasadena Chalk Festival “Paseo Colorado People’s Choice” ballots will be available in the Center’s retailers.
