About this event
Ring in the unofficial end of summer with art, color, and creativity at the Baytowne Art and Chalk Festival. Set across the gorgeous cobblestone walkways and lagoon-front piazzas of the Village of Baytowne Wharf, this annual Labor Day weekend celebration transforms Sandestin's pedestrian village into an open-air gallery of chalk masterpieces, fine art, and live artistic demonstrations.
Local and regional artists take over the streets with breathtaking chalk art displays that use the ground itself as a canvas -- an ephemeral art form that makes every creation feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Alongside the chalk artists, you will find fine art vendors, artisan crafters, and interactive creative experiences that are especially magical for families with kids. Browse original paintings, sculptures, jewelry, and handcrafted goods while strolling the waterfront boardwalk.
The festival runs all Labor Day weekend, September 4-6, in the heart of the Village of Baytowne Wharf. Admission is free and open to the public. Visit baytownewharf.com for the full schedule of artists and activities as the event approaches.
