New name: Denver Chalk Art Festival

Hmmm. I just learned that the annual La Piazza dell'Arte event held in Larimer Sqaure has changed its name to the Denver Chalk Art Festival. I did include La Piazza dell'Arte in the "Arts & Leisure" chapter of my Moon Denver guidebook and I do think it's a very unique event for the Mile High City. I have no idea why the name was changed though. Their talks about the Italian tradition of chalk art...less wine and Italian food at this year's event?
