Chalk the Block
The 2025 Chalk the Block event will be held on Saturday, June 28th from 9am to Noon!
Join us at this awesome family and community event on Toledo's Main Street!
Whether you're an aspiring artist, a seasoned pro, or simply looking for a fun family activity, this event is tailor-made for you. Come to Toledo City Hall Saturday morning to create chalk art along the sidewalks of Main Street. Panels will also be available at table height near City Hall, so anyone can create their masterpiece without having to bend over the sidewalks if they wish.
We're not just celebrating artistry; we're also rewarding it! Once the drawing concludes at Noon, judges will be awarding prizes for 1st and 2nd place in categories of 0-11, 12-18, adult, and group/family.
Chalk the Block is absolutely FREE. All we ask is that you bring along your enthusiasm, friends, family, and that one-of-a-kind creative spirit.
