Chalk It Up! Festival

Chalk It Up! – an immersive two-day festival featuring live music by local musicians, hands-on activities, food trucks, and large-scale street chalk painting – will be held in downtown Beaufort in March of 2024. This distinctively creative event, being organized by the Freedman Arts District, combines community engagement and art appreciation into one free fun-filled weekend, March 23-24!
Inspired by the tremendous popularity of chalk festivals around the country, festival organizers are gathering together 63 artists near and far to create huge colorful chalk illustrations directly on the pavement of a neighborhood parking lot.
The festival will conclude with an awards ceremony on Sunday, March 24 at 5 p.m. Three prizes will be awarded: 1st Place $500; 2nd Place $300; People’s Choice $200.
