The Walton Band Parent Association, which puts on the Taste of East Cobb food festival, announced Tuesday that May 4 is the date for the 2024 event.
It’s being held once again at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church (955 Johnson Ferry Road), and applications are being accepted for restaurants, vendors and sponsors.
The hours are 11-5, with food samplings from local restaurants, live music, and demonstrations and swag from local businesses (East Cobb News was a proud first-time participant!)
Interested applicants can sign up and get more information by clicking here.
The proceeds benefit the Walton band programs, and since last year’s event here’s what they accomplished:
