BROKEN ARROW ROSE FESTIVAL and CHALK IT UP! AN ART FESTIVAL ROSES, CHALK AND KITES, OH MY! Postponed till 2021!
It’s official. The 2020 Broken Arrow Rose Festival & Chalk It Up! An Art Festival is being cancelled. This sad and difficult decision has been made based on the rising numbers of COVID-19 cases & the uncertainty of our ability to provide a safe environment for our many visitors, vendors, committee members & volunteers.
We’re looking forward to a Fall Festival in 2021. We’re anticipating that the new Creative Art Center in downtown Broken Arrow will be open for business by then, making the weekend an even greater celebration of all things creative in our community! We sincerely hope that you can join us in 2021!
Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.
For now, stay safe!
