We had a Coke and a bottle of water to drink. Later, we had Almond Crescents and Baklava, which we shared after a dance program.

All that we had to eat was quite tasty. We chose well.

PIGS AND PEACHES BARBEQUE FESTIVAL…read more Today's festival was awesome and was well planned and organized. There was plenty of advanced information describing activities, vendors and performers. The signage directing you to the venue and parking was on point. We were able to park and walk for free, but if you wanted to get closer to the venue it would only cost $7. When we arrived, it was still cool and the walk was very reasonable. Upon entering the venue, there are several vendors selling jewelry, services, food, and more. The first stage that you see is the family stage with performances that were great for the entire family. The cloggers and dancers performed on this stage, yet it was the only one that was not shaded on this very hot day. The cloggers were great but we just could not tolerate the sun. As we moved throughout the venue, we noticed to additional stages, the adult stage and the second stage. These stages were close to the shaded areas, (large tents with tables and chairs) so that you could sit and enjoy a mile while you listen to music. The main stage was popping with the Alex Guthrie band. They were very soulful and played some great "old school" tunes and well as original music. There were several barbeque vendors and it was difficult to choose one. My husband just decided to go with the one that had the large pig roasting. I guess it looked very authentic to him and it was a very good choice. If you are looking for something active, they have a zip line, (more child appropriate) for $10 and helicopter rides for $30. In addition, there is a very large play area for the kids to bounce until they drop. I scored a cool souvenir tee, delicious apple slushy, caricature and earrings today. The barbeque was so filling that I just did not have room for anything more and I missed an opportunity to find traditional peach cobbler. Oh well, there is always next year!

So disappointed this year. Because of the road closures and lack of parking it was not easy to…read morestart this event. Just a handful of actual BBQ businesses and each one of them were showing their prices higher than what you would spend in the restaurant. Williams Brothers had 2 booths at lease so in total maybe 5-6 at best of other BBQ shops. The craft booths were just about selling the same thing at each one of them. We were asked so, so,so many times if we wanted new windows in our house or insurance from vendors. "Which was more of them then crafting or spice vendors. We only found one vendor that had anything to do with peaches. we normally go to these to try and fine New and or better BBQ places to try but we won't waste our time and money again. After walking around and getting tired of hearing the same line of sales pitches, we walked over to Cheeseburger Bobby's and had dinner for 2 including drinks for what it was going to cost one of us just to try out some BBQ. Not one of the BBQ vendors had something of a sample tray or plate for free or to buy just to get a feel for the flavor of their BBQ. Only getting one star because they did have lots of jumping houses for kids to play in.

The food was okay - definitely not a food destination but I'd get stuff to eat if we were hungry during our visit which we were. It was quite the hike to order and get the food from where we were, so when we realized it wasn't accurate we certainly were not going back to get it corrected. The non alcoholic drink in a can was really good. My husband enjoyed his beer and we visited while it was nice out so it was a really chill place to be for an afternoon. We'd certainly return! The vibes absolutely check out! And also ample parking in a lot across the way so that's a plus, of course. Can't go anywhere in my 30s without parking!

The location was cool but could be on the dangerous side due to the train still running. Not many places to park and the places you can park they were charging $10. If you plan on eating any food from the trucks make sure your prepared to spend some money. There were three different stages with many local schools performing and also dance schools. Unfortunately it rained all Sunday so we did not get to catch any of the performances.

THE KID IN ME The…read morekid in me loves a big festival in a small town. Kennesaw is the perfect backdrop for this annual festival that features a parade, musical performances, food and arts and crafts. I was determined to get to the festival regardless of the weather. As always, we arrive early, just after 8:30 so that we can get the lay of the land and take it all in. Parking was great, very close, well-staffed with attendants and only cost $5. Can't beat it! The parade usually precedes the beginning of the festivities. I did not get to see the beginning of the parade because I was distracted by one of the jewelry vendors and was too busy purchasing items. We did however get there before all was done. Every parade is unique, but audience participation is essential if you really want to have a good time. This parade is not as open as others. The streets are very narrow, so gates are used to contain the crowds. They don't throw candy from floats because they don't have them. They actually walk along the route and politely put the candy into the hands of the kids. If you yell out "Hey! I want candy too , they will give you some. If you yell out to the square dancers to "do-si-do", they will comply. The Steampunk group was one of my favorite as the fashion is just so cool and their sign read something like: Steampunk gun club and sewing circle, (interesting combination). That Harrison High School Band was the bomb! They sound so professional! After the parade, we continued to check out the various vendors. Some of my favorite vendors are the jewelry vendors that travel around with their wares. Stones to Wear is my favorite as I love sterling silver and big bold pieces. Phil and Sharon are like family and we always stop by and visit with them. The Panjo guy was unique. He took kitchen pans, (cake, brownie, heart-shaped etc) and made banjos out of them. He actually did a demonstration which was very cool. If you like dulcimer music, then you would appreciate this. I want to give a special shout-out to Superior Plumbing who provided superior toilet facilities complete with sinks and running water. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! If you decide to go, be careful as the ground is very wet and muddy. I wore sport sandals that can be easily cleaned and are quick to dry. If you don't want to eat typical carny food, eat before you go or eat afterwards because the only healthy vendor we saw was the Smoothie vendor. We wanted something more substantial so we just ate after we left. We had a great day and it was made even more special because of the train that frequently runs right through the festival! Love it!

Paid $150 for a "VIP" ticket and honestly can't figure out what part of that was supposed to be…read moreVIP. The value just wasn't there. The VIP tent was way too small for the number of tickets they clearly oversold--crowded, uncomfortable, and not even close to a premium experience. The layout made things worse. There was zero signage to distinguish beer lines from cocktail lines, even though they were literally right next to each other. So you stand in line, wait forever, finally get to the front...only to be told you're in the wrong line and have to go all the way to the back of the other one. Completely avoidable. Then when the food opened, the food line was placed right next to the drink lines, creating one massive, confusing bottleneck. It turned into a crowded mess with no flow at all. Vendor tents were sparse, which just added to the feeling that this event was underwhelming overall. First time attending--and definitely the last....at least from a "VIP" perspective. Save your money and get the GA tickets...you'll have the same experience.

Some Tips: -- Arrive early to avoid a throng of people. -- Parking is somewhat difficult. The library lot fills up quickly, but if you dray around or park blocks away, you'll be okay. -- If you're there at lunchtime, check out Fusco's. Everybody knows Henry's -- which per usual had a long line waiting to get in last weekend-- but with Fusco's you'll pretty much be seated immediately. (I'm a sucker for their Mulberry Street sandwich -- every kind of unhealthy Italian coldcut .. and so delish!) -- Afterward, check out the wine bar down the street. $5 per-glass wine, and great entertainment. (The jazz singer is the best!)

I love impersonating Aaron Neville. So when I traipsed through the Acworth Art Fest and realized…read moreThe Bodyguard soundtrack blasted from an outdoor speaker, my head nearly exploded. In addition to bopping my head to "Even If My Heart Would Break," I nodded in approval of this new festival. Artists from around the Southeast set up booths with their charming wares, beckoning me to spend moolah I don't currently have. When I spotted a necklace made with an antique spool of thread covered in early 1900s sheet music, I tried it on, put it down and walked away, knowing that if I still wanted it after perusing the entire festival, it was okay to buy it. That necklace in addition to a cat yard stake that moves in the breeze, a morbid skull plate that ironically proclaims "Peace" and felt flowers one can stick inside a vase. I turned my cheek away from these seductive pieces! I thought the festival was well promoted and thoughtfully set up with clear signage leading patrons to acceptable parking lots. And the Yum Yum Cupcake truck was there...

Went for dinner on Monday May 18th. Sat inside close to the bar…read more The service was awful. Extremely slow. Waited forever just to place order. Food was forgettable. I barely remember what I ordered. Here is what makes it a one star review : We were surrounded by multiple tables of young teens. Like 12 -14 years old. There had to have been around 20 of them yelling and talking loudly the entire time. Our table became surrounded by them. Not a parent in site. They over took the tables in the bar area. We left before being done eating. Awful experience. Whoever the manager on duty was should be fired. To allow your bar area to become a teenage hangout is unacceptable.
