• Noshfest
Nu, you’re looking for a bissel to ess? Don’t mean to be a noodge, but you’d be meshugana to miss Noshfest.
Translated from Yiddish to English: So, you are looking for a small bite of food? I do not mean to be a pushy individual, but you would be crazy to miss Noshfest.
The two-day food event in the parking lot of Temple Kol Emeth at 1415 Old Canton Road in Marietta offers sample-size portions of Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and classic Eastern European Jewish fare.
The event runs Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Monday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Now say it with me, "zei gezunt!" it is pronounced "zay gehzunt" and means "be well" in Yiddish.
• Holy Smoke Festival
Johnson Ferry Baptist Church is again holding its beloved barbecue event, complete with a skydiving demonstration and Shane Wilbanks, a "family-friendly Christian Illusionist." That's according to the church's website.
There will be a car show and silent auction. Learn more here.
