MARIETTA, GA - The Marietta Cobb Museum of Art is pleased to announce the return of Chalktoberfest, our internationally recognized Chalk Art and Craft Beer Festival, October 11-12, 2025 on the Marietta Square.
Chalktoberfest is an art-filled weekend with something for the whole family to enjoy. Professional chalk artists from across the USA, and around the globe bring their talents to the beautiful streets of Marietta Square for all to enjoy. Enjoy your afternoon as you watch the chalk artists create their masterpieces, listen to local bands perform in Glover Park, and support local arts, craft, and food vendors. Chalktoberfest has something for everyone, and the best part is that the chalk festival is free and open to the public! In addition to the weekend-long chalk art festival, Chalktoberfest will present our annual Craft Beer Festival on Saturday, October 11th and our annual Community Chalk Competition on Sunday, October 12th.
The Craft Beer Festival will be held on Saturday October 11th, 2025 from 12:00pm - 5:00pm on West Park Square. Enjoy unlimited samples of over 120 different kinds of brew from dozens of local companies and 25 varieties of wine.
