Yes, we know the real Earth Day is April 22nd, but stop by Forsyth Park on April 17th to celebrate with the rest of Savannah. This free event will feature educational lectures, workshops, and live entertainment. Recyclarama is from 8am - 11am. It's a good opportunity to bring those old paint cans for recycling along with other hard to recycle items. The festival will run from 11am - 3pm. If you have any questions or would like to help sponsor this event, please call Sarah Barlow at 912-651-6943.

Every imaginable art form that could somehow be chalked or laid on a sidewalk was represented.

In the years since then, the festival has grown by leaps and bounds. There is hardly any square foot of sidewalk, be it the main one or the branches that isn't covered with some work of art or other.

The 25 acre Forsyth Park is jammed with thousands of visitors perusing the art and enjoying the food, the music and the camaraderie.

Today, this festival is undoubtedly the most widely attended and enjoyed of all art festivals in Savannah.

Sidewalk Arts Festival is free and open to the public. Artists start sketching at 11am, but visit around 1:30 or 2pm to see completed designs.
