Come June 17 and 18, the Pasadena Chalk Festival will return for its 25th year. In the meantime, the Pasadena Museum of History is hosting “Art in the Street: 25 Years of the Pasadena Chalk Festival,” an exhibit that looks back at some of the most mind-blowing work to ever grace a sidewalk. The exhibit runs through Aug. 13, and there's a free opening reception on Sunday, April 9, from 1 to 4 p.m.
