With a forecast this weekend of high temperatures in the mid-80s accompanied by clouds, the Marietta StreetFest might be a way to make up for last weekend.
This is the 26th year the Marietta Museum of History is hosting the free event on the city’s historic square. (Museum admission is also free all weekend.)
The event runs on Saturday from 9 a.m.-9 p.m. and on Sunday from 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
Below you’ll find what you need to be better prepared than the rest of the estimated 15,000 attendees.
