Registration now open for the Dover Community Trail ChalkFest

posted on 5/12/2025

Get ready to let your creativity shine at the Dover Community Trail ChalkFest, a fun-filled event for all ages hosted on Sunday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Coordinated by the Dover Community Trail Advisory Committee in partnership with the Dover Arts Commission, this event invites you to join us on the trail and turn the pavement into a masterpiece. Whether you’re a seasoned artist, a doodler, or just looking for a great time outdoors, come make your mark.

Each participant will get a five-foot-by-five-foot square to create their chalk art between the Fisher Street Trailhead and Central Avenue/Route 108. Chalk will be provided, or feel free to bring your favorite colors. There is a suggested donation of $5 per entry, which will cover event costs, with any excess going toward the Community Trail fund.

Prizes will be awarded in different age categories, and snacks and water will be provided.

Registration is encouraged via Google Forms, and we can't wait to see what you'll create.

Additional details will be sent to registrants before the event date, and questions about the event can be shared via the Google Form above or directed to City Planner Erin Bassegio at E.Bassegio@dover.nh.gov.
