This weekend’s East Cobb events include the revival of a long-standing religious revival that dates back just about as long as there’s been a Cobb County.
The 187th Marietta Campmeeting gets underway Friday with an opening potluck picnic and service starting at 6 p.m., kicking off daily events through July 20 at the Marietta Campground (2301 Roswell Road).
On Saturday, the 7:30 p.m. service features a Gospel concert by the group Old Tradition, followed by a watermelon-cutting.

Step out to East Cobb Park Saturday morning from 9-10:30 for the monthly Walk With a Doc session organized by the Living at Your Finest Wellness clinic, an event marking its second anniversary. The guest speaker is Allison Adams, owner of Icebox Cryotherapy of East Cobb, who will discuss reducing inflammation, boosting recovery, and enhancing overall well-being.
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game is coming to Truist Park this week, and special events in the run-up include a family fun event Saturday morning at the Kroger at Terrell Mill MarketPlace (1310 Powers Ferry Road). From 12-4, you’re asked to bring to the OxiClean-Kroger Family Pop-Up Benefit Event a non-perishable food item to benefit MUST Ministries.
