Keep Marietta Beautiful Co-Sponsors 8th Annual Cherokee Heights Arts Festival

From the City of Marietta:

MARIETTA, GA – Keep Marietta Beautiful is pleased to announce it will co-sponsor the 8th Annual Cherokee Heights Arts Festival on Saturday, November 12th, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Festival is on Etowah Drive between Freyer and Seminole Drives. There is no admission charge and all parking is free.

Cherokee Heights is a 1924 National Historic Register subdivision just a mile north of the Marietta Square. For many years, residents of this quaint neighborhood had produced a boutique, invitation-only art show to share their talents with friends. Beginning in 2009, they moved the show outdoors and threw it open to the world. We now offer the creative work of more than thirty neighbors and friends for this one day each fall. This year's artists include our new neighbors in Blair Valley and Montgomery Park. The show will cover the entire block of Etowah Drive between Freyer and Seminole drives, just one block off Cherokee Street. You can see a free preview of some of the neighborhood artists' work at the First Landmark Bank, 307 N. Marietta Parkway, Marietta all during the month of October.

On November 12th, two music "stages" will spill around grassy corners onto Freyer Drive and Seminole Drive and will feature local artists in free performances throughout the day. Lovingly made local arts and crafts include original paintings, pottery, graphics, photography, jewelry, metal work, textiles, baked goods, original books and poetry, and much more. Your kids will love our free art-play children's booths managed by Nerdy Baby, Inc. and by Toni Phillips. There are lots of Christmas gifting possibilities. This show is free to all, courtesy of sponsorships by First Landmarks Bank, Keep Marietta Beautiful, Inc., Nerdy Baby, Inc., Andy on Call, Traton Homes, Northwest Exterminating, Merchants Exchange Barber Shop, and Marietta Dental Associates.
