Food tickets sold for the Taste of East Cobb said the festivities would go on rain or shine, and despite some windy and cloudy skies, a popular community food festival made its return Saturday.

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID, several local restaurants and dozens of small businesses and community organizations met the public at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church.

Organized by the Walton High School Band Parents Association, proceeds benefitted the Walton band programs.

Students from the Walton and Dickerson Middle School bands performed, and there was a silent auction, raffle tickets, a kids zone, martial arts demonstrations and more.

Also on hand were the Committee for East Cobb Cityhood and the East Cobb Alliance, which opposes cityhood, as their representatives were campaigning ahead of the May 24 referendum, as well as the Cobb Democratic and Republican parties.
