The Oberlin Chalk Walk is returning for its 17th year! Join us for a day of artistic fun for people of all ages and skill levels where local and regional artists will create imaginative chalk drawings throughout downtown Oberlin.
There are no assigned squares, judging, or prizes for this event. Just come and enjoy the art of our community! The Oberlin Chalk Walk provides pastels and other supplies to participants at no cost (monetary donations are appreciated to help keep this event free for everyone). Registration and information tables can be found throughout downtown on the day of the event.
