The area's most talented chalk artists—the kind who can transform a single sidewalk square into a stunning canvas—will be at home in Westchester this weekend.

The Cross County Shopping Center in Yonkers will host its first-ever Sidewalk Art Festival as part of its ongoing SummerFest events.

Almost two-dozen artists will chalk up the mall's outdoors on Saturday, August 10 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Prizes will be doled out across two categories: professional and amateur.
