For one day only, the streets of Downtown Las Vegas will transform into a vibrant, open-air canvas as the 18b Arts District Association and Market in the Alley present the third annual Chalk It Down! Festival on Saturday, April 18, 2026.

From real-time chalk art by local artists to hands-on activities designed for fun for all ages, Chalk It Down! invites the community to step into, play with, and be part of the thriving neighborhood.

While the chalk creations anchor the event, Chalk It Down! is built as a full-day, family-friendly festival with:

A dedicated Kids Zone filled with hands-on creative activities

Interactive chalk areas where guests can make their own work

Storytime, puppet-making, STEM workshops, and live demonstrations

Live painting and dance activations

Food, drinks, and local vendors throughout the day

Through the partnership with Market in the Alley, the festival will also feature more than 50 local vendors selling curated goods, from handmade pieces and vintage finds to plants, jewelry, and specialty treats.

Chalk It Down! takes place Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 10am to 5pm. Admission is free and the event is open to the public, pets included.
