Starting Friday evening, Marietta Square comes alive with activity for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. While Church Street closes to traffic to set up Saturday’s arts and crafts festival, photographers am their lenses at a unique photo shoot at Lenny’s Hair Salon at 95 Church Street. Two hot rods -- a 1960 Cadillac and a 1949 Ford -- create the backdrop for Lenny’s first annual Red, White and Rock-a-Blues event.
Entertainment continues late into the night at a special Art Walk Afterhours at 164 Roswell Street. Jazz and Jokes will feature the music of Sting from 9:00 p.m. to midnight. A block away at the Earl Strand Smith Theatre, a live pianist performs until 11:00 p.m. in the Lumiere Lounge.
