Cobb County Public Services’

Renaissance Faire

March 28, 2026 11AM - 4PM

Hear ye, hear ye! A grand decree, a historic affair for all to see! Mark thy calendars don’t be late, Cobb’s noble gathering - save the date!

We are excited to announce an inaugural Cobb County Public Services’  Renaissance Faire taking place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the Mountain View campus in Marietta, Georgia. This new event is being presented by Cobb PARKS in collaboration with Cobb Libraries and Senior Services, and is designed as a fun, single-day family-friendly prelude to the Georgia Renaissance Festival in Fairburn.

Our goal is to bring the sights, sounds, and activities of the Renaissance era closer to home—right here in our own community. We envision an afternoon filled with demonstrations, performances, food, crafts, and interactive activities that showcase the spirit of the era.

Applications for vending at our art market are CLOSED as of January 20th. All applications after this deadline will not be considered. If you are a local club, business, restaurant, or organization, we would still love to have you! We are still actively looking for volunteers for the day of. Reach out through our email info@artplacemarietta.org if you’re interested.

Students, businesses, and clubs can support the Faire in several creative and flexible ways (just a few examples below):

  • Running a face-painting station on the day of the event (all supplies provided)

  • Leading medieval-themed arts and crafts activities (supplied by us)

  • Assisting with games and guest engagement while representing their school, club, or business (info table)

Renaissance attire is encouraged but not required. All participating students will receive official documentation for service hours.

We hope you’ll join us in making this first Faire a unique and memorable event for all. More information about programming coming soon!
