Saturday would have been the Taste of East Cobb festival, but like many special events in the community, it’s among those postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19.
The latest is the Noshfest, a Jewish food, music and cultural celebration that’s been held on the Labor Day weekend at Temple Kol Emeth.
Earlier this week, Noshfest organizers sent out word that their 10th annual festival will be pushed back to the spring of 2021.
No specific dates were mentioned for now. Last month it was announced Noshfest would be moved up to Aug. 22-23.
The Marietta Greek Festival was to have been held May 15-17 at Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church, but is being cancelled altogether this year.
Other spring festival casualties in East Cobb included the Northeast Community Egg Drop at Sprayberry High School, as well as the Cobb Master Gardeners plant sale and expo and spring home garden tour. Both of those were planned for April.
A number of other major spring and summer events around metro Atlanta are being called off or pushed back, including the Peachtree Road Race.
The July 4 event, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, will now take place on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 26.
