Inaugural Fall Fest, Artist's Row Comes To Avenue East Cobb

EAST COBB, GA — If you're looking for something festive to do for the fall season this weekend (besides going to a pumpkin patch), look no further.

Avenue East Cobb's inaugural Fall Fest is slated for Saturday from 3-6 p.m. featuring live music, an art show, complimentary face painting, balloon art, hayrides and a cornhole tournament, according to a news release. Drift Fish House & Oyster Bar will provide drinks for purchase at its pop-bar in the Central Boulevard all afternoon.

Those interested in trying their hand at the cornhole tournament, hosted by Cornhole ATL, can pre-register online here by Oct. 8. Tournament winners will receive an Avenue East Cobb Experience basket filled with retailer and restaurant goodies.

The Artist's Row opens at 2 p.m., and attendees are encouraged to get there early to pick their favorite pieces. A full list of participating artists can be found here.
