Round Rock Arts is happy to announce that Community Impact Newspaper is now event sponsor for Round Rock Chalk Walk and Arts Festival. The 2015 event is now Community Impact Newspaper Chalk Walk and Festival benefiting the Arts.

The Community Impact Newspaper Chalk Walk and Festival Benefiting the Arts is the community’s largest and most prestigious festival for entertainment, arts and cultural events drawing over 32,000 people to Round Rock during the first weekend in October last year.

Community Impact Newspaper Chalk Walk and Festival Benefiting the Arts offers visitors a chance to see a variety of chalk art, hear local music groups, watch theatrical performances, enjoy children’s performances, interact with vendors and purchase good food and drinks. Last year the Chalk Walk had an economic impact of over $380,000 to the Round Rock community.

Admission to the Community Impact Newspaper Chalk Walk and Festival Benefiting the Arts is free. The Round Rock Arts Council’s goal is to provide a celebration of entertainment. Art is the theme and chalk is the medium. Artists are free to create works of art in the Centennial Plaza in Round Rock. From start to finish, these paintings are created in full view of the public, who are encouraged to interact with the artists as they use their amazing talents to create beautiful “murals’ before the audience’s eyes. The fact that the paintings disappear at the end of the festival makes their beauty even more appealing.

NEW THIS YEAR! Asleep at the Wheel is the Friday night headliner concert at the amphitheater! As with all other performances during the festival, this performance is free.
