Main Street Delaware is celebrating Independence Day with a First Friday \u201cChalk It Up for Freedom!\u201d sidewalk chalk art party that includes live music and a classic car show.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
For everyone\u2019s safety, Sandusky Street will be closed between Spring Street and Central Avenue for the First Friday celebration.<\/p>\n
\u201cChalk It Up for Freedom!\u201d 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.<\/p>\n
