Mark your calendars to help Snellville celebrate its 100 year anniversary Aug. 18-19.

The centennial celebration kicks off at 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 18 on the Towne Green in front of city hall with a variety of food trucks, music, fun and games.

Events include an antique car display with cars dating back to 1923, a free kid’s zone with inflatables and a video gaming bus, historic ghost tours and a performance by the Atlanta Seventeen Band with music from the Roaring 20s to soul, R&B, jazz and rock.

Visitors who come to the Farmers’ Market on Saturday dressed in clothing from a former decade will have a chance to win prizes.

At 8 p.m. Saturday evening, a giant centennial birthday cake surrounded by 100 sparklers will be brought to the stage for a Happy Birthday sing-a-long.
