This is a wonderful event for the whole family. There is something for everyone. Shopping, demonstrations, eating, playing, there are several local businesses there to promote their place in the community, and entertainment. There is a HUGE parade on Saturday morning. Parking can be a little crazy, there are some "paid" parking areas/lots ... and there are places you might be able to park [free] for a short term. My advice on this is for you to come out early, especially on Saturday. Bring your walking shoes, bring a stroller or wagon for the young kids, there is alot of ground to cover. Pack a picnic (a little ice chest fits nicely in the stroller bottom.), or purchase lunch from the food vendors. There are some delicious choices @Margot>>> I have seen many DOGS over the years there, don't think there is any ordinance against them being there (even seen a few lizards, birds and one monkey, as I recall.) Bring CASH. Some vendors will take credit/debit cards, but not all of them .. I do not remember seeing an ATM machine there in years past. Hope you come out and have a good time, rain or shine!

What a great festival. This year we are making it a big family weekend. My other two children and their families who also live in SC are making the trek to Kennesaw with me to join in the fun at the Big Shanty Festival.
