Published 6:51 am Tuesday, June 2, 2026

QUINCY — A family-friendly chalk art event will take place 5 to 7 p.m. Friday at the Quincy Kroc Center.

Chalkfest is open to the public as part of the center’s 15th anniversary celebration.

The festival turns the center’s parking lot into a colorful space where participants of all ages can claim a chalk square and create something of their own. Guests can explore themed areas and take part in contests including most colorful, best family collaboration, messiest masterpiece and best overall design.

Members get one free chalk square, with additional squares available for purchase, while nonmembers may participate for $15 per square, which includes supplies.

The event is made possible in partnership with Arts Quincy, with grant funding supporting expanded access to hands-on arts experiences in Quincy.

If weather conditions require, Chalkfest will move indoors to ensure the event can continue.

Registration is available online or by calling the center’s Welcome Desk at 217-222-5762.
