The Old Town North Alliance presents the 3rd Annual Chalk-A-Block from 11am to 2pm on Saturday, September 19th. Visit the newly completed TideLock project in Old Town North (The Residences - 1111 N. Fairfax St. and Current - 1055 N. Fairfax St.) for a free, family-friendly event featuring chalk artists, live music from The Okays, local makers and artists showcasing their works, and an array of food and drinks for sale from neighborhood favorites Jula’s on the Potomac, Hank’s Oyster Bar, Hank’s Pasta Bar, and Royal Restaurant.

The Okays perform in front of Salon deZEN (Chalk-A-Block 2025)

This year’s event will feature a distinguished judging panel that includes Mayor Alyia Gaskins and The Art League Executive Director Suzanne Bethel. The judges will present a “Best in Show” award, while attendees will have the opportunity to vote for a “People’s Choice” Award.

Chalk-A-Block is designed for artists and art lovers of all ages. Dedicated community chalk areas will invite children and adults to create their own masterpieces. Art therapists from River Grove Therapy will lead interactive community art projects.

Admission is FREE and the event is open to the public. Street parking is available nearby, and visitors are encouraged to bike or walk, as TideLock is conveniently located right along the Mount Vernon Trail.

We can’t wait to see you there!
