Ventura Art and Chalk Festival 2026

Celebrate creativity by the sea at the Ventura Art & Chalk Festival, a family-friendly weekend filled with art and community spirit. Presented by the Rotary Club of Ventura, this annual festival transforms the Ventura Harbor Village waterfront into a vibrant outdoor gallery featuring stunning chalk art creations, fine art displays, artisan vendors, and interactive experiences for all ages.

Stroll the harbor promenade and watch talented chalk artists bring large-scale works of art to life while exploring a curated collection of local artists, makers, and craftspeople. Guests can browse handcrafted goods, discover unique artwork, participate in hands-on creative activities, and enjoy a colorful atmosphere inspired by creativity and community.
