Chalk-Full-O-Fun Festival

On Saturday, August 19 the annual Chalk-Full-O-Fun Festival will be back at the park surrounding the Lillian Gregerman Band shell in Onset. (Rain date is next day.) It is free for spectators. For a $5 registration fee, artists of all ages & abilities can chalk the sidewalk. Each one will receive a 36-count box of colorful chalk. Tabletop chalkboards are set up for those with mobility challenges. As always, there will be an artisan craft fair, music, children’s activities and something special to highlight the theme. Amanda Sellars will be the feature artist. She has been a frequent chalk artist at past events. “Weird, Wacky and Wonderful” is this year’s theme. Caricature artist, Noa Juarez, will be on hand to draw portraits from 12-2:00 pm. Music from the band shell will be provided by Pete & Beth Sanders from 12-3:00 pm. A Story Walk will be set up, and 25 books will be given away to families of young children who take the walk. Volunteers will assist with children’s tattoos. People can vote, and prizes will be awarded for “People’s Choice” favorite artist as well as the artwork that best depicts the natural beauty of Wareham. It’s a fun day all around.
