Lake Worth Beach Street Painting Festival returns February 21-22
"Downtown streets transform into a free, family-friendly outdoor art gallery with live music, food, and over 600 chalk artists.The streets of downtown Lake Worth Beach will once again turn into an open-air art gallery during the Annual Lake Worth Beach Street Painting Festival, happening Saturday and Sunday, February 21–22, 2026.
More than 600 artists from around the world will transform Lake and Lucerne Avenues into colorful chalk canvases, creating everything from 3D illusions and detailed portraits to abstract and nature-inspired designs!
The artwork is temporary by nature, making the experience all the more special as each piece will eventually fade with the next rainfall.
Beyond the art, the festival features live music and performances on multiple stages, street entertainers throughout the weekend, and a wide selection of food from local and international vendors. Families are encouraged to attend, with dedicated kids’ chalk zones and interactive art activities available!
Admission is FREE, though donations are encouraged to support the artists. Parking is available throughout the downtown area, with complimentary parking and shuttle service provided at Palm Beach State College on South Congress Avenue." [WFLX]

When Erin Allen ran the SPF, it was a classy affair. Now, it's a free for all. I hope the city gets lots of money for it, but for the residents, it's a colossal parking inconvenience. Why people would come from miles away, to see chalk panted on asphalt, gives you an idea of the intelligence level of the attendees.
Where in hell does one park? It's a zoo and I have to wonder if any business downtown makes any money.
