In conjunction with Riverlife, SouthSide Works and Made in PGH, the SouthShore Riverwalk and Chalk Fest is a FIRST in Pittsburgh and is happening this Saturday during Memorial Day weekend from 2-6 p.m. Explore the best riverfront views in Pittsburgh while viewing world-class, color-blasted artwork along SouthSide Works. 21 chalk artists from 13 different states will be visiting our hometown to let their art speak for itself on the pavement with lively, interactive murals. Plus, enjoy local food trucks dishing out great eats while the artists draw.
