The 15th Annual Taste of Marietta will be Sunday, April 27 from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on the historic Marietta Square. At last year's event, over 60,000 people hit the streets to sample their favorite foods. Tastes, including Italian to seafood, steak, BBQ and desserts are from 50 cents to $4. 

In addition to the food and fun, the family festival has outdoor entertainment all day, culminating with the Sunset Concert featuring "Banks & Shane." Vintage and new cars will be on display at the Carl Black Car Show.

"With over 50 restaurants serving their treats and a children's area with moonwalks, sand art, strolling characters and much more, any festival-goer is bound to have a great time," festival coordinator Maryclaire Andres said. "Again this year, you can meet the Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta Force."

Admission

Admission is free and is a project of the Marietta Welcome Center & Visitors Bureau in conjunction with the city of Marietta.

"'Taste of Marietta' is a fun way to sample the food of a variety of metro-Atlanta's restaurants as well as its history and culture," Theresa Jenkins, Executive Director of the Marietta Welcome Center & Visitors Bureau said. "Festival goers can experience the shopping and history around the Marietta Square, or enjoy a free ride on the trolley to and from the festival."
