StreetFest Returns with Some New Twists

This September, the 21st Marietta StreetFest returns to historic Marietta Square with plenty of outdoor fun including some expanded offerings. Think music, kids and cars.

On Sept. 15, the Marietta Museum of History presents Marietta StreetFest, a one-day event with a top-notch Arts, Crafts & Antiques Market, the Hubcaps and History Classic Car Show, the new Jewelry Row and a chance to visit the neighborhood restaurants, shops and historic sites found around the Square.

For the first time, Marietta StreetFest features the Children’s Zone with inflatables, make-n-take projects and interactive games. Some activities may require a small fee.

For adults looking for their next favorite piece of jewelry, a visit to Jewelry Row will offer more than 15 booths filled with various styles and price ranges.

This year, Marietta StreetFest is also thrilled to welcome the Marietta Grassroots Festival, featuring bands and singer/songwriters from throughout the metro area who will perform original music.

Many bands and solo performers will create an entertaining afternoon of music of varying genres. Marietta Grassroots provides local musicians a chance to perform in front of larger crowds to gain more exposure.

Marietta Grassroots was founded in 2009 as an outreach program to provide safe, family friendly events and activities with a special focus on showcasing local talent from Marietta and the surrounding communities.

The Marietta Grassroots Festival is looking for volunteers. Interested parties should visit www.mariettagrassroots.org to find out how to get involved.

Visitors the day of StreetFest will also receive free admission to the Marietta Museum of History.
