Every year we look forward to the Maple Grove Chalkfest. The artwork the chalk artists create is completely outstanding, it’s free to attend and take lots of fun selfies! It’s also one of the Midwest’s Largest Chalk Art Festivals!

This year is the 11th annual event, revived through a new collaborative partnership between Experience Maple Grove, the Maple Grove Arts Center, and the event’s original co-creator and internationally recognized chalk artist, Shawn McCann. The festival is at its original location on downtown Main Street in Maple Grove, MN between Elm Creek Boulevard and Arbor Lakes Parkway.

It’s open Saturday, June 13th and Sunday, June 14th. The artwork will stay up for viewing through Monday, June 15th, weather permitting.

Not only can you see amazing art being created, but there are also activities especially for families! The Kids’ Zone has two art stations with free chalk art-based activities in interactive community art zones inviting everyone to join in.
