October 24 - September 14, 2025

Presented by the Rotary Club of Ventura

Join us for a vibrant weekend by the sea as the Ventura Art & Chalk Festival returns to the harbor promenade. Watch in awe as over 30 professional chalk artists transform the walkway into a kaleidoscope of color with large-scale, hand-drawn murals.

What to Expect:

• Live chalk art creation from talented muralists

• Artisan marketplace with paintings, ceramics, photography, jewelry, and more

• Kids’ Chalk Zone where young artists can create alongside the pros

• Live music performances and family-friendly entertainment

• Special appearance by illustrator Greg Wray, best known for the original Sonic the Hedgehog video game cover

All proceeds benefit local children’s programs, scholarships, and nonprofits. Since its inception, the festival has raised over $50,000 for organizations like FOOD Share of Ventura County.
