Marietta Art in the Park celebrates its 40th year on the historic Marietta Square over Labor Day weekend, Saturday, September 5 through Monday, September 7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission is free. The festival features a juried Artist Market with 200 fine artists from across the country showcasing painting, photography, pottery, jewelry, sculpture, and more, plus a special 40th anniversary Artist Showcase. Visitors can also watch graffiti artist Rich Dennard create a collaborative mural on Saturday, join Chalk Spot street art on a closed downtown street (Saturday only, $10 to participate, benefiting the Marietta High School Visual Arts Program), and help the Marietta Arts Council build a textile American flag in honor of the nation's 250th anniversary. Kids can enjoy Children's Art Alley all three days, and everyone can relax with live music at the square's gazebo, browse local shops and galleries, and grab a bite at the many restaurants surrounding the square. Marietta Art in the Park is the only fine art festival in Cobb County and has earned recognition from Sunshine Artist Magazine and the Southeast Tourism Society, drawing around 55,000 visitors each year.
