September is a popular month in Carlsbad because of the weather - often our warmest month - but also for a variety of festivals and events.
Art Splash is one of the favorite, and unique, art festivals that are held in Carlsbad each year, and this year, the 7th, will be on Saturday and Sunday September 26th and 27th in the same location on Armada Drive overlooking the famed Flower Fields (which are just dirt at the moment).
Art Splash draws a big crowd every year to enjoy music and dancing, many food offerings, and of course that many artists who are there to display their works of art which include glass creations, sculpture, jewelry, paintings and so much more.
A highlight of Art Splash, which makes it rather unique, is the chalk street art competition and display. Folks can sponsor different squares, and artists, with moneys raised going to help support area art programs.
The Taste at Art Splash will also be held this year on Saturday with a good crowd expected to sample food from well over a dozen area restaurants. Tickets are $20 to attend the Taste at Art Splash, but Carlsbad's Art Splash itself is free.
If you are in the area, Carlsbad's Art Splash is definitely a great time, and the chalk art is amazing. The view over the flower fields to the ocean ain't bad either.
Hours: 10 - 6 on Saturday and 10 - 5 on Sunday.
Enjoy the tour from a couple of years ago.

Art Splash and taste of Art Splash sounds like a winning combo. Have a great time and enjoy the weather. It is starting to get in the low 40's here at night, and high of upper 60's lately. Have a great weekend!
Jeff, Very nice, I loved the side walk drawings, amazing.
Jeff Absolutely great show - I thought the lemonade stand was truly unique - the sidewalk drawings are always interesting Karen
Jeff, art events are always a lot of fun. Around here, September is a popular time for crafts stuff, too. Great blog fodder!
Hi Jeff, heard about Art Spash but have never been. This year it is going to be on my to-do list. I love things like this and I can't wait to see what's in store this year. I googled this and I looked through the previous years. Anyone who appreciates ART should be there.
Hi Jeff, we had one similar event in Downtown Denver this summer. Those creations on the sidewalks were and are amazing. ~Rita
All - Art Splash is a terrific event adn teh chalk art was incredible. What I really like is that funds raised at this event help support art programs in our community. Hopefully I can make it there again this year.
