Denver Chalk Art Festival 2026

This past weekend, Denver's streets were awash with color thanks to the annual Denver Chalk Art Festival.

On Saturday and Sunday, more than 200 artists decorated the streets in Denver's Golden Triangle Creative District with the most amazing chalk art creations. Yes, right on the streets.

This year I attended the festival on the Saturday evening. This means that most of the chalk art works were not finished, but as you can see, they were still pretty spectacular to see. It also meant that, unlike last year when I went late on the Sunday, I actually got to see a lot more of the artists working. While it's nice to see the finished product, seeing the artists bringing their creations to life is pretty amazing. 

Let's take a look at some of this year's art works...  

Denver Chalk Art Festival 2025

This past weekend, Denver's already colorful streets added a lot more color. 

And when I say Denver's streets, I mean literally, the streets! The roads and pavements in Denver's Golden Triangle neighborhood came to life is a splash of color thanks to the annual Denver Chalk Art Festival!

This two day festival saw over two hundred artists leave their (temporary) mark on Denver's streets in the form of stunning, and ever so colorful, chalk art masterpieces. 

We spent Sunday afternoon at the festival and I was in absolute awe of every single piece created. I'm sure you will be too once you scroll through the photos below. So, let's take a look at the 2025 Denver Chalk Art Festival...
