Chalk It Up was born in 1991 and returned to celebrate it’s 27th year this Labor Day weekend! September 2nd-4th artists decorated the sidewalks of downtown Sacramento’s Fremont Park with amazing chalk art. Chalk It Up is a family friendly event with food trucks and live music that included Blue Oaks, The Brodys and Humble Wolf. Not only is it a festive event, but proceeds from the fundraiser go to support Youth Art Projects. What’s not to love about that?!
