Today, my daughter and I went to the Upper Arlington Labor Day Arts Festival, which is a great event for kids. The festival had tons of art activities for kids.
While we were there, the munchkin colored on the sidewalk with chalk, which she loves to do. The nice people who supplied the chalk told us about Via Colori Columbus.
Via Colori is an Italian street painting festival. At Via Colori Columbus, more than 100 artists, both professional and amateur, will paint the sidewalks of Goodale Park.
For the kids, there is Via Bambini, an area for kids to get creative with chalk. Along with the art, the festival also features lives music an food vendors.
All proceeds, after expenses, go to Columbus Ohio charities – Homeless Families Foundation, Ohio Arts League, and CD101 for the Kids.
