Our Annual Traditions
Spring kicks off with the breathtaking Marietta Cherry Blossom Festival, where a section of Front Street closes down so visitors can stroll beneath more than 150 blooming cherry trees while enjoying multiple stages of live music, local artisan vendors, and food trucks.
Soon after, the town hosts its longest-standing tradition, Marietta Day, an expansive annual street fair and community market that transforms seven blocks of Market Street into a pedestrian-only paradise packed with food trucks, live entertainment, unique regional crafts, and yard sales.
