The Magnolia Market & Chalk Walk will include more than 100 arts & crafts vendors from all around the state of Georgia for a great day of shopping and supporting small businesses.
Eatonton Main Street is looking for talented Chalk Artists to show off their skills during the event. The chalk art will be done in the street, which will be closed for the event, so there is plenty of room to spread out.
Come explore the world of chalk art and create your own masterpiece alongside other artists. If you've never chalked before, that's okay! Anyone can participate.
Sign up to chalk your own 6'x6' square for the Magnolia Market & Chalk Walk in Downtown Eatonton.
