Glover Park Concert Series 40th Anniversary + Weekend Events | Marietta, GA | Sold by Justine

This is not just any Friday night on the Square — it's the official 40th Anniversary celebration of one of Marietta's most treasured summer traditions. The Glover Park Concert Series marks four decades of free outdoor music with a special pre-concert celebration followed by A1A, Atlanta's premier Jimmy Buffett tribute band, taking the stage at 8 PM. Bring your blankets, lawn chairs, and a cooler — and come early to enjoy the anniversary festivities before the music begins. This is a milestone Marietta night you won't want to miss.

Start your Saturday morning the way it was meant to be started — outdoors, with fresh local produce in hand and the energy of the Marietta Square buzzing around you. Every Saturday, local growers and makers bring the very best of the season: heirloom vegetables, homemade preserves, artisanal goods, fresh flowers, and so much more. It's a wonderfully simple and grounding way to spend a weekend morning, and a Cobb County tradition that never gets old.

Calling all little explorers, future paleontologists, and story lovers! The 2026 Cobb County Summer Reading Kickoff Party theme is "Unearth a Story" — bringing dinosaurs, discovery, and imagination to life with an afternoon packed full of hands-on crafts, engaging activities, and a preview of all the exciting summer reading prizes and programs ahead. Happening simultaneously at four library branches across Cobb County, this free event is the perfect Saturday afternoon adventure for kids and families of all ages. No registration required — just show up and dig in!
