Northborough Chalk the Walks week

Grab your sidewalk chalk and your inner child Saturday, April 17-Sunday, April 25 and send smiles to anyone walking or driving by!

Get your sidewalk chalk ready! Northborough Moms wants to help spread joy, optimism, inspiration and hope during the school April break, Saturday, April 17-Sunday, April 25.

The idea is simple: get out to write happy messages, draw fun pictures, or say thank you with chalk on your driveways or sidewalks. The nicer weather is bringing out so many walkers, bikers, and runners in our neighborhoods. Let's give them something to smile about.


The idea was inspired by Westborough's Kindness Week. Chalk the Walks is an easy, fun and low cost event to participate in that can greatly impact a person in some way. All ages are invited to participate!

A few reminders:

  • Don't worry if it rains; it gives you a new canvas to create during the week.
  • Chalk responsibly and only with respect for all who will see it. It should be appropriate for a 4 year old or an 84 year old to see it.
  • Remember the mission - it's to bring smiles!

Don't forget to share your photos of your messages on social media, using #NoboChalktheWalks.
