Great news, the Taste of Summer is also returning to downtown Perry on July 14th. Fresh local food made into edible art by talented local chefs... Hungry yet?

Part of the enjoyment of the Perry Chalk Art Festival is seeing the works unfold throughout the day. Make plans to walk the Festival Plaza and Main Street multiple times to best understand the artists' inspirations.

40 vendors are signed up so far to join us at the Perry Chalk Festival's Public Market on July 14th. Combined with the Perry Farmers' Market, which takes place that day on Borden Ave, and downtown merchants, there will be lots of ways to meet your need for a shopping fix!

The talented Kelly family and friends will join us in two Chalk Art Festival locations. On the festival plaza, Kelly's Old Timers will perform from 8:30-10:30am. On Borden Avenue, Elise Kelly will keep shoppers and vendors happy with her 10am-1pm musical performance.
