Stay In The Loop

Watch the sidewalks come to life during the 11th Annual Chalkfest at The Island in Pigeon Forge on Saturday, September 26! This free, family-friendly event brings artists of all ages and skill levels together to transform the sidewalks into colorful works of art right before your eyes.

This year's theme, "Once Upon a Sidewalk," invites artists to bring fairy tales, magical kingdoms, mythical creatures, enchanted forests, and other imaginative worlds to life through chalk. Visitors can stroll through The Island throughout the day to watch the artwork take shape, then vote for their favorites to help choose the winners.

Artwork will be created from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with voting ending at 4:30 PM and the awards ceremony beginning at 5:30 PM. at the Ole Smoky Moonshine Stage. Admission and parking are free, and artists can participate for free with advance registration.
