The dead of winter is the time when spring, summer and fall festival news is announced. Following a recent post about the 2020 date in May for the Taste of East Cobb comes word about some changes with the Noshfest at Temple Kol Emeth.

Noshfest organizers announced over the weekend that the 10th anniversary of the Jewish food and cultural festival is taking place in late August, instead of over the Labor Day weekend.

It’s also being streamlined into a one-day festival, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 22. The previous day, Saturday, Aug. 22, will have a “Nosh at Night” musical concert featuring East Cobb artist Alex Guthrie, who’s opening for the Zack Brown Band, and others, along with refreshments.

More details are to follow, including ticketing for Nosh at Night.

The dates for the 2020 Marietta Greek Festival also have been announced, and for the 30th anniversary of the event, it’s keeping to its usual spring time slot, May 15-17 at the Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church on Trickum Road.

The Greek Festival hours are Friday, May 15 from 3-11 p.m. (with free admission from 3-5 p.m.); Saturday, May 16 from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m; and Sunday, May 17, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
