Sidewalk Murals at Paseo Colorado

Do you have any plans this weekend? Will you be in the Pasadena area? If so, find your way to Paseo Colorado to enjoy the 18th annual Pasadena Chalk Festival. This Saturday June 19 & Sunday June 20 from 10am to 7pm.  It's free of charge and open to the public. About 600 artists will decorate walkways all around the shopping center.

This year the 2010 Pasadena Chalk Festival will attempt to make history by setting the Guinness World Record for the Largest Display of Chalk Pavement Art!

At the conclusion of the festival, participating artists will select the outstanding murals of the festival, including Best Overall, Best Technique, Best Use of Color and more. Festival visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite murals as well. Pasadena Chalk Festival “Paseo Colorado People’s Choice” ballots will be available in the Center’s retailers.
