Spring has sprung! There are a few seasonal activities happening soon, and you definitely don’t want to miss out on the fun.

First, we have the 134th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade! That’s on Saturday, March 12th from noon to 1:30 p.m. The parade will run from Midtown from 15th to 5th street. However, participation isn’t just an Irish thing. It’s for the entire family! The parade attracts different kinds of acts from all over town, including clowns, bands, dancers, drill teams, and more. Primarily, the event aims to celebrate the diversity among children and families in the Atlanta area. For more information, visit AtlantaStPats.com!

Last, don’t miss the first pitch of the season at Turner Field! This is the last season the Atlanta Braves will play in Atlanta before relocating to Cobb County.

Today, we'll discuss the top five things to do in Cobb County. As we approach the end of the year, relocations are picking up. I wanted to point out some great things to do in our area so that newcomers have some options. 

First off, there's the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. This park offers over 17 miles of hiking trails, and it's a lot of fun for the family. It is the most visited National Park in the United States. Bring your pets and enjoy this great attraction. 

Up next is Six Flags! We have a Six Flags Water Park as well as the original amusement park, so take the family along for a day of fun! 

Another place to check out in Cobb County is Marietta Square. Bring the family and bring the dogs. There are farmer's markets, art galleries, and a free summer concert series. It's a great place to check out in the winter as well. There is always something going on there.

Number four on my list is the Silver Comet Trail. It's 94 miles of paved road that used to be the bed of a train track. It's a great walking and biking trail. 

The final thing on my list is the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. This is a premier venue for Broadway shows, ballet, concerts, operas, and much more. Stop by and see a show when you're in town.

Those are my top five picks. For more events, check out travelcobb.org. If you have any questions, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
