Chalk Walk: Where Art Meets Magic – July 24, 2026
This summer our annual Chalk Walk takes place on Friday, July 24, 2026 in the Downtown Appleton district. In honor of 100 years since the passing of Harry Houdini we’ve adopted the theme of “Where Art Meets Magic.” We invite artists of all skill levels to unleash their creativity and create sidewalk chalk masterpieces with a magical theme. We are also welcoming both magic and music buskers to share their talents during the Chalk Walk. Sleight of hand magicians and acoustic performers are invited to register on our website. The Chalk Walk is completely free to participate in and attend. Chalk art can be viewed as long as the weather permits.
