On March 18, 2018 we went to the Bloom N Chalk Fest in Safety Harbor, Florida. This was our first time going to a chalk fest and visiting Safety Harbor. The city is north of Saint Petersburg and east of Clearwater. It is a very pretty area and the part of the city we saw had a small town feel to it. It reminded me of Mount Dora, Florida.
Bloom N Chalk Fest took place in Downtown Safety Harbor off of Main Street. We got there about 11 am on the second day and it was already pretty crowded. We had a little trouble finding parking but not too much, took about 15 minutes of driving around. I don’t know how artists participated in the event, there were a lot, we walked from one end of the festival to the other end to see all the chalk drawings. I took pictures of alot of the drawings but I don’t think I got them all, there were a lot of people there.
I have the pictures below and a number on the picture corresponds to the artist on this list:

In addition to the chalk drawings the festival had food and craft booths. The rasberry tea from The King’s Nut and Tea was really good.
