Chalk up the town

It's that time of year again where hundreds of people come together to celebrate their love for Richmond. CHALK UP THE TOWN is on its way.

Over the last two years we have had thousands of people come out and cover the sidewalks with beautiful art. It's an activity for all ages to come together and celebrate the city through chalk. A couple tents will be set up along Cary Street for you to get free chalk. All you have to do is show up and create; it is simple and very fun!

Chalk Up The Town happens Saturday April 20, 2013 from 1-4pm. Chalk is free and provided. more here
