Event Description:
The Village of New Lenox is excited to announce that our 2nd annual Chalk Walk event will take place this summer on Saturday, July 18th, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in our Village commons (101 Veterans Parkway).
Chalk Walk is an event that offers the opportunity to create a masterpiece in the Village Commons with sidewalk chalk. This event is open to everyone, including families, students, professional artists, aspiring artists - all who are interested are welcome! If creating a work of art isn't for you, then join us to stroll through the Commons and enjoy the art being created by your neighbors.
In addition to the artwork that will be found on the Commons sidewalk, the event will include live music, food and beverages, and other fun art-based activities.
