East Cobb Weekend Events: Concerts; Easter Egg Drop; more

The first weekend of spring has plenty of seasonal activities on tap in the East Cobb area.

The action gets underway bright and early Saturday morning with the Noonday Shanty 5K/10K run to support future greenspace and trail projects in the Town Center area.

The venue is the Noonday Creek Trail and the first runners will go off starting at 7:30 a.m.; race-day parking is at the Town Center at Cobb.

With Easter just a couple weeks away, the Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team is staging an Easter Egg Drop for kids Saturday from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Mt. Paran North Church of God (1170 Allgood Road).

In addition to age-group drop periods, the fun includes magicians, balloon art, and goodie bags.

Music is in the air at two musical concerts this weekend.

Saturday night, The Art Place-Mountain View is continuing its new Concert by Candelight series with the Atlanta Flute Choir.

The show starts at 7:30 p.m. in the black box theater and is preceded by a “mocktail” coffee hour starting at 6:15 p.m. (no adult beverages are allowed on county property). Tickets are $25 a person and can be reserved here.

On Sunday, the Cobb Wind Symphony is holding its semi-annual concert at the Lassiter HS Concert Hall (2601 Shallowford Road) at 3 p.m.

The event starts at 3 p.m. and is free and open to the public, and donations are accepted.
