JULY 14-18 in BONNERS FERRY, IDAHO
A FREE COMMUNITY-WIDE EVENT
during Kootenai River Days
Whether you’re a seasoned artist, the guy who claims “I can’t even draw a stick figure,” or just someone who loves to doodle, Chalk the Block is for you! Now in its third year, this sidewalk chalk festival celebrates creativity in its many colorful forms—no perfection required. All ages and all skill levels are welcome.
Head to the gallery, grab a bucket of chalk, pick a spot on a sidewalk, and let your imagination run wild. Feel free to create at any time during the event, however the gallery is open and available from 10am to 5pm. ENTER the contest (optional), and then VOTE on your favorite in each category. Prizes will be awarded to 6 different category winners.

A huge thank you to the individuals and businesses who are sponsoring this event!
