ALPHARETTA, GA — Guests are invited to visit Alpharetta City Center in downtown Alpharetta, Georgia on Sunday, May 8 to celebrate Mother’s Day with Petals & Parasols. From noon to 3 p.m., attendees can visit the Town Green to enjoy flower crafts, live music, sugar cookie decorating and other festive activities for free while spending time with the mother figures and loved ones in their lives.

Petals & Parasols will feature a flower crown workshop where participants can make their own creations with fresh flowers, a photo backdrop for Instagram-worthy pictures to take with loved ones, custom-designed sugar cookies decorated on the spot and a face painting station. In addition to the activities planned, revelers will also be able to grab a complimentary parasol to use while strolling around the center or as props for photo opportunities. Dried flower bouquets will be available for attendees free of charge as well.

Live music from local trio Lilac Wine will set the relaxed and cheery tone as guests explore all the delights offered at the event. Lilac Wine is known for performing covers of popular songs from the past 50 years with the blends of traditional folk, bluegrass and jazz music.
