Every year street painters from all over the world meet in Geldern to bring their works of art onto the asphalt. All those involved hope that the weather will stay good for a long time, because after all the art of street painting is quickly ephemeral.

During the summer holidays, the street painters festival attracts visitors from all over Europe to the tranquil town on the Lower Rhine. For a weekend, the gray pavement is transformed into a gallery of works of art. Street painters from near and far paint their works in chalk on the asphalt and cobblestones of the city, and bring color to the city.

From there you can watch the artists creating their works.
