EVENT RESCHEDULED: Due to impending inclement weather, the City of Carrollton has rescheduled today's Chalk the Park event to Wednesday, June 11 at Mary Heads Carter Park (2320 Heads Lane) from 5-8pm.  The weather wants to contribute its masterpiece, and unfortunately, it's mostly in watercolors and stormy skies. 

The City looks forward to welcoming the community for an evening of colorful creativity, family fun, (hopefully) much sunnier skies, and a special outdoor screening of the animated adventure Inside Out 2 (2024), PG to celebrate the beginning of summer.

Chalk It Up at Carrollton’s Free Summer Kickoff Celebration
Posted 04/07/2025 8:27 AM

Step into summertime in style at Carrollton’s Chalk the Park Celebration on Thursday, May 22 from 5-8 p.m. at Mary Heads Carter Park (2320 Heads Lane).

Bring the whole family, friends, and even the neighbors to the festivities, beginning with an evening full of family-friendly fun. There is no admission fee, and activities are free.

Dress for splashes and enjoy water games, inflatable obstacle courses, and take advantage of the photo ops available for immortalizing the moment. Have a friend shoot a pic in front of a colorful, fringed backdrop or pose in front of the big canvas of chalk drawings.

Unleash your creativity with endless chalk art opportunities. Design stunning sidewalk chalk masterpieces, dust yourself in chalk powder in exciting games, and cool off with a colorful water gun showdown, or watch other talented artists at work. Chalk is free while quantities last, or attendees can bring their own.

Bring those lawn chairs and blankets because as the sun sets, everyone can spread out to enjoy a special outdoor screening of the animated adventure Inside Out 2 (2024), PG, and the perfect way to celebrate the end of the school year with the whole family.

Throughout the evening, treat your taste buds to delicious eats. Food trucks will be on-site to satisfy any appetite attendees may have worked up.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available for the event. To learn more, call 972-466-9804.
