Fall festivals abound in Downtown Marietta. Check out these fun activities designed to bring out the kid in each of us.

Marietta Streetfest

The 24th Marietta StreetFest returns to the historic Marietta Square with arts & crafts, local musicians and plenty of free fun activities for children. Back by popular demand is the Children’s Zone with plenty of activities that include bounce houses, giant slides, make-and-take craft projects and other interactive stations and games. It’s all the fun a kid could ask for, and it’s even larger this year. mariettastreetfest.com

Harvest Square Arts & Crafts Festival
