Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
The Denver Chalk Art Festival is one of our favorite local events — a great way to kick off the summer that just happens to be free.
This year's gathering in Larimer Square was no exception — although the artists had to face some Mother Nature-related adversity.
On Saturday, intermittent rain did no favors.
By midday on Sunday, however, the work of the indefatigable chalkers — a mix of professionals, students and inspired enthusiasts — seemed no worse for the weather.
Did we get a photo of your favorite? If not, it certainly wasn't for a lack of trying, as you can see by the following gallery, which features a whopping 63 images.

Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
