Chalk
the Block on the Bluff
|
St. Joseph Today is delighted
to announce the ninth annual Chalk the Block on the Bluff street
painting festival on the weekend of August 8th & 9th, 2008.
This coincides with downtown St. Joseph's Sidewalk Sales, August
7th - 10th.
Chalk the
Block, sponsored by the Abonmarche,
highlights an artist's talents against a backdrop of
music, entertainment and kids' activities. Participating
artists transform the streets with chalk drawings similar
to those seen at festivals both in the U.S.A. and in
many European countries, most notably Italy. Chalk the
Block is fast gaining popularity, and each year more
residents and visitors are attracted to our beautiful downtown.
They are experiencing first hand, not only the festival,
but the great stores and restaurants St. Joseph has
to offer.
