2025 Pasadena Chalk Festival - Silent Auction - 2025/06/15

As part of being an artist at the Pasadena Chalk Festival, you're highly encouraged to donate a canvas for the festival to raise money for the Lightbringer Project, a group that helps bring art to underserved kids in the community. 

The first year you participate in the Chalk Festival it's $30. Every year after that it's free! When you're there, they give you plenty of chalk, water, snacks during the day, breakfast, tote bags, shirts, and artist dinner on Thursday, and there's awards for the winners. They even give you a blank canvas to return with paint on it! Painting a canvas seems like a simple thing to do in return. 

2025 Pasadena Chalk Festival Day 2 - Happy Father's Day - 2025/06/15

Happy Father's Day! I love that I get to spend it with my kids doing something together at the Pasadena Chalk Festival! We started our "Grogu Goes to Hogwarts" mural yesterday, and today we'll be finishing it up! 

2025 Pasadena Chalk Festival Day 1 - 2025/06/14

It's time for the 2025 Pasadena Chalk Festival! I'm excited! We've got a fun mural this year. Last year we asked the question "What if Pokemon went to Disneyland?" 

This year, we wondered "What if Grogo went to Hogwarts?" 

I asked the kids what time they wanted to get started the night before. They said, "9 or 930? But we'll get up earlier for you if you want to. Since it's Father's Day."

I do want to get an earlier start to the day for sure. I know that working in the sun during the afternoons can be brutal, so it's easier to get a lot done in the morning when it's cool. By 7am, I was at our spot and getting the time-lapse camera set up and T and the kids were there a short time after.

It's Father's Day Weekend and time for the Pasadena Chalk Festival! 

On Thursday, we all made our way up to Pasadena. At 4pm, you're allowed to claim your spot. I contacted the organizer and asked to be near our friends Charlotte, Curt, and Ruston, and when we arrived, we all had spots together! And check it out! We're in the exact same spots as last year! 

Come see us at the 2025 Pasadena Chalk Festival this Saturday and Sunday!
