Marietta Art In the Park

Marietta Art in the Park, an Atlanta Labor Day weekend tradition is celebrating its 36th year! 

Chalk Spot is an interactive street art display for children that benefits the Marietta High School Visual Arts Club. This creative festival feature gives kids the chance to design a one-of-a-kind masterpiece in a 3-foot-square space on the closed street. Chalk Spot takes place on Saturday, Sept. 3 only, but the art will remain on display throughout the weekend (weather permitting).  All participants get a box of sidewalk chalk. Supplies will be limited, and spots are available on a first come, first served basis, but everyone can watch!

Also for the kiddos, Art in the Park includes the Children’s Art Alley, a free, interactive “make and take” area located on Roswell St on the southeast corner of the park.     

FOOD              
Local restaurants along the Square offering a variety of cuisine will provide indoor and outdoor seating for dining. Beer, wine, soft drinks and water will also be sold throughout the festival.
MUSIC             
The gazebo welcomes local singer/songwriters throughout the three-day weekend. All live music performances at Art in the Park are free to enjoy. Bench seating is available, or attendees can bring a blanket or chairs to relax, making the gazebo the ideal spot to take a break, enjoy a to-go bite from the surrounding restaurants and unwind with a cool beverage or simply enjoy the music all day.   Sponsored by the North Georgia State Fair.
TOUR              
In addition to the fine art and festivities within the Art in the Park grounds, visitors can enjoy more of what downtown Marietta has to offer, like the surrounding shops and boutiques, museums, galleries, the 2-mile immersive Downtown Marietta Mural Program presented by the Marietta Arts Council and even a historic walking tour.
