Our Journey at the City of Centennial Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival
Every year, the vibrant city of Centennial, Colorado, comes alive with color and creativity as it hosts the annual Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival. This beloved event celebrates local artists, community, and culture, transforming the streets of SouthGlenn into a vivid canvas of artistic expression. We were honored to be a part of this joyous occasion as a local business sponsor, and we were excited to give back to the hardworking staff who make the festival possible.
A Vibrant Celebration of Art and Community
On the sunny Saturday of September 16th, approximately 5,000 eventgoers gathered to witness the magic of the Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival. More than 75 local artists brought their talents to the pavement, creating stunning chalk art that adorned the streets of SouthGlenn. The festival offered much more than just art; it was a full-sensory experience with live music, lively voting for the best chalk art, and an array of local vendors from the community.

A Special Thank You to the Hardworking Staff
While the Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival was primarily a celebration of art and community, we recognized the dedication and tireless efforts of the event staff who worked behind the scenes to ensure its success.
