What to expect?

Known best for its fine art offerings, Marietta Art in the Park gives individuals and families the chance to have all kinds of outdoor fun during Labor Day weekend. The festival began 40 years ago and has become one of the premier fine art shows in Atlanta, and the only one in Cobb County. This fine art extravaganza features the Artist Market, representing the best in fine handcrafted works by 220 artists from all over the country. Art displayed during the festival includes paintings, photography, pottery, graphic arts, sculptures, jewelry, woodworking and much more. The Artist Market gives visitors the chance to purchase art but also to talk with the artists who make it. Some artists also offer demonstrations during the festival for a real behind-the-scenes look. Kids of all ages love the ever-popular Children’s Art Alley with several free make and take crafts and the Chalk Spot where kids and adults of all ages use their imagination to create chalk masterpieces. The festival supports both Marietta City Schools and Cobb County Schools through fund raising efforts during the festival. Join us September 5 – 7 on the Marietta Square, as we look forward to seeing you again!
