Lake Worth Street Art Festival
Saturday is a great day to see the art being created, and Sunday allows you to view the finished masterpieces.
Join over 600 artists as they transform the streets of downtown Lake Worth Beach into a stunning outdoor museum during the Annual Street Painting Festival. In addition to the art, enjoy live entertainment on three stages, explore unique downtown restaurants and shops, and savor delicious offerings at the festival food court and bistro. Admission is free. Come watch as original artworks and reproductions of masterpieces come to life, only to fade away with the next rain.
Lake Worth invites you to the annual Street Painting Festival, which claims bragging rights as the country’s largest. The 2-day event transforms the downtown streets with more than 200 street paintings sponsored by businesses, organizations, families and individuals, covering more area than any other festival of its kind in the U.S. Hundreds of artists converge to display their diverse talents on the asphalt – using only chalk – in styles that range from Renaissance classicism to Cubism and Pop Art. Street performers, strolling minstrels, and Mainstage musical entertainment add to the creative atmosphere. And of course, don’t miss the Festival Food Courts, accommodating culinary tastes and thirsts as diverse as the surrounding artwork.
Traced back to 16th century Italy when itinerant artists would use their chalks to transform pavement into a makeshift canvas, street painting has retained its appeal through the centuries. As in ages past, crowds still gather to watch as fine works of art emerge. The “paintings” last only until the next rain, but the lively spirit and accessibility of the exhibition captivate new audiences each year and inspires lasting memories.
Watch as over 400 Artists use the pavement as canvas to transform downtown Lake Worth into a temporary outdoor museum of original art and masterpiece reproductions. See the streets come alive as the artists transform the pavement into works of art. It happens every February in downtown Lake Worth, Florida.
