PHOTOS: 2012 Sarasota Chalk Festival

Sarasota Chalk Festival continues through Nov. 6. Submit your photos of the festival here.

Burns Square continues to fill up with spectators for the  2012 Sarasota Chalk Festival.

The Festival happens through Nov. 6 in  Burns Square where international artists will converge side-by-side with kids to chalk up the neighborhood. Drop by anytime, and you'll never know what or who you might see.

One of the biggest draws will be Kurt Wenner, a Baltimore-based 3-D street painting artist known worldwide for his work.

More murals are on the way, too, as the "Going Vertical"  campaign will take over walls from 18 buildings around the city.

For those looking to chill to the music, Chillounge will turn the streets of Burns Square into a comfortable area to sit on high-end patio furniture while enjoying a night out with friends listening to live music. That takes place on Laurel Street between South Pineapple Avenue and South Orange Avenue from 5 p.m. to midnight on Friday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
