It’s been more than a year since we’ve done this: rounded up selected weekend events from our calendar listings.
While we’ll be rolling out our full calendar listings over the next few weeks, below we’ve linked to some coverage of things going on that we’ve placed on our main news channel.
That’s how we’ve been posting about the rare events that have taken place during the COVID-19 pandemic; gradually this news will shift over to our main calendar listings page.
For the time being, that listings page is under reconstruction of sorts; shortly we’ll get it back to where it was before March 2020.
Something different with this revival of the calendar is to include concerts and other special events from beyond East Cobb, but that aren’t too far away.
Now, on to some community happenings this weekend:
Starting Friday and continuing through July 18, the 183rd edition of the religious revival takes place at the Marietta Campground (2300 Roswell Road). All services and other events are free and open to the public.
Take the kiddos (ages 3-16) out to Hyde Farm (726 Hyde Road) or Ebenezer Downs Park (4057 Ebenezer Road) Saturday morning for some competitive fun. The cost is $5 per child and you’ll need to bring your own gear and bait.
Town Center at Cobb (400 Barrett Parkway) will distribute free COVID-19 vaccines from 1-7 Saturday with Emergent Testing. Members of the public can get their choice of the Moderna, Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson vaccines by coming to mall’s upper level food court next to the Smoothie King. You’re asked to pre-register here: bit.ly/TCCEmergentTesting and will need to bring a photo ID. If you’re getting a second dose, you’re asked to bring proof of the first shot.
Big Shanty Park (2050 Kennesaw Due West Road) is the venue for Saturday’s 8 p.m. screening of The Sandlot as part of the Kaiser Permanente Movie Series. Bring your own food and snacks after registering at the link above.
The Mable House Barnes Ampitheater is kicking off its 2021 schedule on Saturday with “Remember When Rock Was Young,” a tribute event in honor of the retiring pop music legend. Award-winning, singer/actor/pianist Craig A. Meyer is the host. Tickets start at $25 and can be ordered at the Ticketmaster link above.
