Perry Chalk Art Festival 2022

Come to Perry, NY July 9th for a Saturday of fine art, fantastic food and fabulous summer fun at the sixteenth annual Perry Chalk Art Festival!

Stroll downtown Perry and see professional artists shape gigantic pastel artworks on the theme “Down to Earth”. Cheer on youth artists competing for prizes and encourage young Aspiring Artists to try chalking. And see artist Erika Lalita creating a super-sized chalk work under the Festival Plaza pavilion.

We are excited to announce the 2022 Featured Artist--TeeJay Dill!

TeeJay is a particularly reclusive humanoid cryptid. As a child, she found her sanctuary in books where the illustrations that she met befriended and protected her. In exchange she vowed to do everything in her power to proliferate their kind and expand the fantastical realms. Since then she has attempted to fulfill this destiny by decorating and drawing on all sorts of things - even people if they sit still long enough. TeeJay has been tattooing professionally since 1991 and is the owner of both locations of White Tiger Tattoo (in Rochester & Webster, NY).

Festival-goers can also expect moving live music, an opportunity to taste delicious regional cuisine, and fresh homegrown produce and unique gifts at the extended Farmers’ Market and Perry Public Market. Here's a full schedule of events.

Tour de Perry

Also, participate in the Tour de Perry bicycle ride! There are three levels of rides available:
  1. Are you looking for a relaxing ride along quiet scenic roads around Silver Lake and the Letchworth valley? Then the Loop de Lake is for you! 17 miles of a mostly flat ride around Silver Lake and along the surrounding countryside. This family friendly ride will have everyone smiling with joy.
  2. If you're looking for a bit more of a challenge, but not quite ready for the Letchworth Loop, try the Loop de Longer. You'll travel 31 miles and experience a bit of both routes!
  3. If a more challenging day is what you prefer, then ride the Letchworth Loop. This ride will take you 53 miles with 3000' of climbing up and down hills through Wyoming County. The ride is recommended for the serious cyclist only!
