- Marietta Chalktoberfestsame spot
Chalktoberfest fills the historic Marietta Square with professional street-chalk artists working large pavement murals, alongside a craft beer festival and live music.
This three storey building beside the Western and Atlantic tracks was a hotel in April 1862, when James Andrews and about twenty Union volunteers checked in for the night.
- Marietta Art in the Parksame spot
A juried fine art festival on Marietta Square with more than two hundred local and national artists showing original work, plus a children's art area and live music.
Sherman's army occupied Marietta but did not burn its houses, so the streets running northwest off the square still carry Greek Revival, Plantation Plain and late Victorian homes side by side.
