Grab your chalk and unleash your creativity! Public Art Reston’s beloved ChalkFest is coming back this Fall to the Reston Town Center.

On Sunday, October 19, Market Street will come alive as professional and amateur artists, as well as families and kids transform the pavement into a vibrant outdoor art gallery.

This free, family-friendly event promises a day full of colorful chalk art, live music by Bach to Rock Herndon, and face painting—a joyful celebration of art, imagination, and community spirit.

For those interested in showcasing their talents and competing for prizes, registration is required and it’s highly recommended to secure your spot in advance as the event has sold out in previous years.

Registration Categories:
Professional Artists: By invitation only
Amateur Artists – $30
Families & Kids – $20

Registered participants will receive a designated square and a full chalk art kit. Chalking begins at 10:00 a.m., judging starts at 4:00 p.m., and winners will be announced at 5:00 p.m. Prizes will be awarded in each category, along with Audience Choice Awards.

Local businesses and community groups are also encouraged to participate—ChalkFest 2025 is a perfect opportunity for team-building and community engagement.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available for businesses and organizations looking to connect with a diverse, enthusiastic audience. With over 4,000 visitors at past events, Public Art Reston ChalkFest is a fantastic way to show support for the local arts community.

This year, Public Art Reston is proud to offer a limited number of complimentary squares for families and children who may need financial assistance, ensuring that everyone has a chance to join the fun.

In case of inclement weather, chalk kits will be available for pick-up, and participants will be encouraged to share their masterpieces on Public Art Reston’s Instagram and Facebook pages.
