It’s hard to keep a great tradition down, and there’s plenty of joy now that the Chalk Art Festival, a staple for many years, is coming back this year to the streets of Bountiful. This colorful and joy-filled event will run June 9-12 on Bountiful’s Historic Main Street. It is once again brought to the community by the Joy Foundation, and co-sponsored by Intermountain Healthcare and Altabank.

Artists will take to the sidewalks on Wednesday, June 9, and will continue working on Thursday, June 10 when Bountiful’s Farmers Market celebrates its opening day at the Bountiful Town Square. 

Artwork must be completed by 6 p.m. on Friday, June 11, as the Food Truck League returns to the Town Square area. On Saturday, June 12, there will be an awards ceremony starting at 10 a.m. on the Town Square plaza.

Registration is continuing online at kidsfindjoy.org/chalk. The site includes beautiful photos of past year’s entries, like a couple that are included with this article from the website. Come out and join the fun.
