Due to the COVID-19 crisis, The Arbor Lakes Business Association has postponed this year’s Chalkfest at Arbor Lakes to August 29 and 30. To date, we have accepted about 55 artists for the original date. We have notified those artists of the date change and ask for their acceptance. Once we have determined how many will not attend, we will revisit the application list and let fill our festival.

There may still be an opportunity for you to join us. If you have already applied, we have your application. But, if you don’t know if you applied or haven’t applied we welcome you to do so.
