The annual Taste of Marietta food festival takes place on Sunday, April 28th, 2024 on the Marietta Square.
This is the most sensibly priced tasting event we know of. Instead of paying for expensive tickets upfront, you get FREE admission to Taste of Marietta — and then purchase as many “tastes” as you want on site, paying between $2 and $9 for each one. Note that you pay at each booth — there are no food tickets at this festival.
The festival hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
More than 50 restaurants and food trucks are participating.
Beer and wine will be for sale throughout the festival.
You can scroll through a long list of participants on the event website.
This is a family-friendly event, with a Kids Alley for the little ones to play in. It typically includes activities like moonwalks, games, sand art, face painting, inflatables, and more. Note that some of the activities have a small fee.
And of course, music rounds out the experience.
In addition to the festival, you can visit the shops and museums around the Marietta Square.

Parking
If you’ve ever visited the Marietta Square, you know that parking can be a challenge. Here’s what you need to know.
You can park for FREE at:
- The Cobb County parking deck (enter on Waddell Street, the cross street is Hansell St. )
- The Mill Street parking lot (cross street: Denmead St.)
The county court lots are also available, but these are privately owned and parking fees will apply.
PLEASE do not park at any of the nearby churches — their lots are for their parishioners, and Sunday is their busy day.
