Skye Canyon, located in the northwest part of Las Vegas, is a master-planned community that is known for its vivaciousness. It is made up of several neighborhoods dedicated to vitality, relaxation, adventure, exploration, balance, and beauty. There is a great balance of modern amenities that coexist with neighborhood parks, thoughtfully carved trails, expansive open spaces, and easy access to hiking and other adventures. Skye Canyon offers the perfect atmosphere for families to thrive and make memories in this active community.
Chalktober Fest Chalk Art Competition and Fall Festival is coming up on October 14 in Skye Canyon. It is a celebration of art, autumn, and inspiration during its seventh annual juried chalk art competition, Chalktober Fest, a festival welcoming the season that features a chalk art contest, an art fair, games and inflatables, and a pumpkin patch.
The location is Skye Canyon Park (10111 W. Skye Canyon Park Drive) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The family-friendly event is free and open to the public.
The theme of the art contest this year is “Colors of the Desert Skye,” and nearly 50 artists of all skill levels will compete for top honors and cash prizes as they imaginatively interpret this vibrant theme and display the power of artistic creativity.
The juried chalk art competition includes three categories: student (ages 12-18), amateur (18 and older), and professional. Cash prizes will be awarded in each category: $300 for first place, $200 for second place, and $100 for third place. There are $100 cash prizes for one winner in two more categories: Best 3D piece, and Best Use of Color. As in previous years, attendees can vote on the People’s Choice, earning the winner a $100 cash award.
Other Chalktober Fest offerings include a Vendor Village, featuring more than 30 vendors and artists, including custom-designed items for your home, jewelry, hair bows, and children’s books. The outdoor celebration also includes a pumpkin patch, inflatable games, a rock wall, and an air jumper, as well as a variety of food and drinks from popular food trucks.
As part of Skye Canyon’s ongoing community support program, Skye Serves, Chalktober Fest proceeds will benefit local nonprofit Project 150, whose mission is to provide support and services to homeless, displaced, and disadvantaged high school students so they can remain in school, graduate, and build bright futures.
