What is the Taste of Marietta?

Taste of Marietta will be held next Sunday, on May 1st from 11 AM to 7 PM at Marietta Square! It's free!



Taste of Marietta is an annual food festival always held the last Sunday in April that showcases Cobb County restaurants and caterers. It is the largest and longest running food festival in Cobb County and has become a favorite annual tradition among local residents. http://www.tasteofmarietta.com/



Where does Taste of Marietta take place?
Taste of Marietta is held in the heart of the city at the Historic Marietta Square. The Square in the spring is a beautiful backdrop for the festival. While enjoying the delicious food and fun, you can also experience Marietta’s history and culture with unique shops and museums


How much does it cost to attend Taste of Marietta?
Admission to the festival is FREE. The only costs are the cost of food and drinks and the moonwalks in Kids Alley.



Do I have to buy tickets for food?
No. Unlike other food festivals, Taste of Marietta is a cash-based festival. You pay the individual restaurant booths for their ‘tastes’ (between $0.50-$4.00) and for drinks at the concession stations.



Will there be ATMs on site?
Yes! ATMs will be provided in four separate locations around the festival.



How many people attend Taste of Marietta?
Last year we had an impressive 70,000+ people attend Taste of Marietta. We are expecting a great crowd again this year.



Can I bring my dog to Taste of Marietta?
We request that folks with dogs and other pets please leave them at home where there is adequate shade and water. There is not a place on the festival grounds to accommodate pets. They can leave waste and many young children are frightened around dogs of any size. Thank you for your cooperation!



How many restaurants will be at Taste of Marietta?
We expect to have 70 different restaurants and caterers to be at Taste of Marietta showcasing their best dishes.



Besides food, what else is at Taste of Marietta?
Lots! We will have all day entertainment on four different stages around the festival; fun and games at Kids Alley; and a variety of ways to test your skills at Sports Corner. In addition to these festival attractions are the unique shops and museums always present on the Marietta Square.



See you there!
