Marietta Art In The Park 2018: When, Where, Times, Parking

MARIETTA, GA — This Labor Day weekend, as many as 45,000 people are expected to flock to Marietta Square for the city's 32nd annual Art in the Park. The 2018 festival, featuring more than 175 artists, is set for Saturday through Monday, Sept. 1-3.

In addition to an expansive artists' market, the festival will feature the popular Chalk Spot, a children's art area, a local art gallery tour, food trucks, live entertainment and, for the second year, the One Piece Project — a "celebration of art and beauty" that is also a benefit for nonprofit groups.

Since 2007, Art in the Park has been honored as a Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Event, ranked in the Top 100 in the nation in the Classic and Contemporary Craft Shows by Sunshine Artist Magazine and has also earned awards from the Southeast Festivals and Events Association and the International Festivals & Events Association.
