This will be our first visit during Festival of the Arts. I am so excited to see the chalk art on the ground but what happens if it has just rained? Does rain affect the art? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Mary Poppins was what I pictured! I would be so sad to see the beautiful artwork ruined by rain.
