Marietta Streetfest brings classic cars, live music to Glover Park
The Marietta Museum of History will kick off the fall festival season with two days of live music, arts and crafts and classic cars.
The 28th annual Marietta StreetFest will be held 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21 and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22 at Glover Park on Marietta Square.
The event, which is free, was established in 1991 as a fundraiser for the museum. It expanded to a two-day event in 2017. It attracts more than 25,000 people to the square each year, organizers said. Key components for the festival are:
Artist Alley and Jewelry Row: work from more than 75 local and national vendors will be on hand. These artists will offer hand-crafted paintings, jewelry, pottery, jellies, jams and sauces.
Kids Korner and Tiny Tot Town: a section where youngsters can enjoy inflatables, crafts, games and kind-friendly entertainment shows.
