We are grateful this year for their continued support!

Celebrating its 15th Anniversary, the Luna Park Chalk Art Festival usually attracts over 3,000 artists, students, vendors, and community members for a colorful day in San José’s Backesto Park. Artists, students and chalk enthusiasts create pieces of diverse art wherever they are in the world, including original works, classical re­creations, traditional Italian madonarri street painting, 3D realistic works, cartoons, modern abstractions, and more.

The Luna Park Chalk Art Festival and Luna Park Arts Foundation are 100% volunteer run.
