One of the strengths of our community is cultural diversity. Cobb has grown by almost 10 percent in the past decade and is increasingly more diverse. In honor of all the unique influences that make our community thrive, Cobb County will host its inaugural International Festival on Saturday, August 3 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at the Jim R. Miller Park Event Center.

Research shows that cultural celebrations foster respect and open-mindedness for other cultures. Understanding people and their backgrounds is vital to personal and community growth. The 2019 Cobb County International Festival will feature a wide variety of local and international music and art, eclectic dancing, delicious culinary options, imaginative crafts, beautiful jewelry, kids’ corner and many other vendors. It will also give local businesses the chance to foster economic growth.

More than 25 countries will be represented at this family-friendly event, which will be held at the Jim R. Miller Park Event Center, located at 2245 Callaway Road in Marietta. The center can accommodate more than 3,600 people inside the 30,00-square-foot facility. There is also room for 2,500 more people on the plaza, midway and kids’ corner.

Celebrating our differences—as well as our common values—helps unite and educate us. You are invited to be a part of this culinary and cultural experience.
