Schedule, speakers announced for 185th Marietta Campmeeting

Marietta Campmeeting returns

The non-denominational Marietta Campmeeting revival, which began in 1837, will mark its 185th edition starting on Friday, July 14 with an opening picnic and services, and concluding on Sunday, July 23.

The revival-style festivities include daily worship services that are free and open to the public, along with a children’s service, a watermelon cutting, an ice cream social and tentholder meetings.

Featured speakers include ministers from the East Cobb area, including East Cobb United Methodist Church, the home church of the Campmeeting.

Descendants of some of Cobb County’s oldest families—Lassiter, Gantt, Allgood, Lecroy, and Groover—still have a tentholding presence.

Campmeeting organizers said that a memorial service for two members of the King family, JerryKing and Randy King, will be held at 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 16.

Schedule updates are being made on the Campmeeting Facebook page and website.
