About the event

The 24th Annual Chain of Parks Art Festival will be on April 20 & 21, 2024 FREE EVENT – No tickets are required Saturday, April 20: 10 am – 5 pm Sunday, April 21: 10 am – 4 pm Expect to have a first-class, fun-filled outdoor cultural experience at the Chain of Parks Art Festival, in downtown Tallahassee! View amazing, original, and one-of-a-kind works of art in a delightful Southern outdoor setting. Nationally ranked in the Top 100 Fine Art Festivals by Sunshine Artist Magazine for 11 years running, this annual two-day festival draws tens of thousands of people from the Big Bend Southeast region to see 150 artists who have traveled from all over the country to display their original fine art works. Known as the premier fine art event, visitors can view and purchase unique works of art while enjoying a weekend filled with a wide variety of live entertainment, mouth-watering culinary creations, libations served enthusiastically at the festival bar, local heritage re-enactments, family fun, interactive children’s art activities, professional chalk artists, and more! “The Chain of Parks Art Festival brings some of the nation’s top fine artists to the Capital City as a way to not only expand on the opportunity for regional art collectors but also introduce fine arts to those who may not have experienced it,” said Festival Chair Kelly Dozier. “The Festival committee and volunteers work hard to make this a fun and successful event for all, including the artists, and to be recognized among the top festivals in this way means the world to us.”

What is a Pop-up Studio?
  • Pop-up Studios in the festival are interactive art-making spaces presented by organizations that provide a children’s art activity and visually engaging booth for up to 500 kids during the weekend.
  • There is no charge to the organization to participate so that resources can go toward providing staffing and supplies for children’s activities and tent decorations.
  • The festival provides a 10x10 white tent in the park, 2 tables, 8 chairs, and colorful bunting around the tent's edge. The Children’s Park will also be decorated creating a welcoming setting for families to visit.
  • Your organization will bring whatever is needed to set up art activities for kids and make your booth look colorful and welcoming.
  • This is an opportunity for your organization to promote the work you do through interactions with the kids and their families and through branded décor and materials.
