Via Colori® Stafford! is a two-day, family-friendly event, taking place from 10:00 to 5:00 p.m. Saturday, September 27, through Sunday, September 27, 2025.

The event will be held at the Stafford Regional Airport. Accessible parking and portable restrooms will be available. Food vendors will be on-site should you wish to purchase refreshments. The event is free for participating artists and the public, and you’ll find a number of community organizations and sponsor tables to visit, plus activities for children. Artists will be busy creating their chalk paintings on well-spaced squares, so you’ll be able to walk around and watch them in action.

We’re pleased to announce that Erik Greenawalt, aka “The Chalking Dad,” has been selected as the 5th annual Via Colori® Stafford Featured Artist. A certified “master” chalk artist in the Florida Chalk Artist Association, Erik participates in street painting festivals around the world, creating elaborate chalk drawings. Erik has chalked at the Australia Zoo and for corporate clients such as BBC/Ludo Studio, Under Armour, and Disney.

The Chalking Dad will be joined by 2025 Signature Artist Bethany Ablondi and 70 local artists as they create large-scale pastel artworks directly on the pavement at this celebration of the arts

In addition to the artists creations, there will be live entertainment, nonprofit vendors, food vendors, and a children’s activity area.
