Main Street Delaware is celebrating Independence Day with a First Friday “Chalk It Up for Freedom!” sidewalk chalk art party that includes live music and a classic car show.
During the July 2 event, everyone is invited to decorate the downtown sidewalks with colorful, eye-catching artwork. Chalk artists are asked to bring their own supplies and then simply select a sidewalk square (on Sandusky Street between Spring Street and Central Avenue or on Winter Street between Franklin and Union streets) to create their masterpieces.
Classic car owners are invited to arrive between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. to claim a first-come, first-served parking space to show off their vintage vehicles. There is no charge to participate in either the sidewalk chalk or classic car event.
For everyone’s safety, Sandusky Street will be closed between Spring Street and Central Avenue for the First Friday celebration.
“Chalk It Up for Freedom!” will be held from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. July 2, with many restaurants and shops staying open late to help celebrate summer in the city.
