Chalk the Harbor

Chalk the Harbor & Waterfront Art Walk is one of Gig Harbor’s most vibrant and beloved traditions. This free, family-friendly event invites the community to transform the sidewalks of Harborview Drive into a colorful outdoor gallery—featuring chalk art of all styles, sizes, and skill levels.

Spend the day exploring a lively, district-wide celebration of creativity. In addition to street chalking, enjoy live art demonstrations, local artist showcases, and interactive experiences designed to engage visitors of all ages. Whether you’re creating, observing, or simply soaking it all in, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Our goal is to create a dynamic and welcoming environment that celebrates artistic expression, fosters creativity, and highlights the unique culture and charm of Gig Harbor’s waterfront.

Stay tuned for details on our 2026 Community Art Project—we can’t wait to share what’s in store.

We look forward to seeing you on the waterfront!
