The Chain of Parks Art Festival returns Saturday, April 23, and Sunday, April 24. The festival is held across the Bloxham, Lewis, and Randolph “chain of parks” in downtown Tallahassee. Attendees can view and purchase art from 150 carefully selected fine artists. There will also be a number of highlighted events including:
- “The Village,” which features children’s art programs for young guests to participate in pop-up studios and make crafts
- A Saturday Evening Groove, featuring Tallahassee Night Live from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 23
- A scavenger hunt, which will award the first 100 guests who complete the “festival passport” to win a prize
- Four professional chalk artists from across the country who will create 3D chalk art for photo ops
- A juried competition in which winning artists vie for $10,000 in awards
- A live reenactment of Jacques Le Moyne in his French encampment
In celebration of Earth Day and through a longtime partnership with Sustainable Tallahassee, the festival will focus on four sustainability initiatives — education, reducing Styrofoam, reducing landfill waste, and reducing food waste. Festival hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, April 23, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, April 24.
