Just a reminder as it gets closer to the date of the event:

The Mableton Improvement Coalition issued the following announcement about the return of the popular Taste of Mableton:

The Mableton Improvement Coalition – is pleased to announce that the third annual Taste of Mableton will be held on Saturday, April 13th from 9am to 5 pm at the Mable House Complex – 5239 Floyd Road. Our family friendly event will feature live performances, food and other vendors, artists, interactive exhibits, giveaways, and a Kids Fun Zone.

The all-day event will continue to build upon the theme “One Mableton,” which was designed to showcase all Mableton has to offer and celebrate the City of Mableton with its over 78,000 residents.

“The Taste of Mableton is more than just the great food offerings. It’s about the many flavors, sounds, cultures, and the vibrancy of Mableton, said Dr. Maxine Wilson, Economic Development Chair and Event Manager for the Taste of Mableton. “The event unites Mableton’s talent, businesses, churches, cultural and artistic groups, schools, and public service communities in an inclusive, fun, and educational way under the umbrella of “One Mableton.”

Ray Thomas, President of Mableton Improvement Coalition, added “The Taste of Mableton exemplifies the improving qualities of a growing and thriving community. The festival’s explosive growth and tremendous vibe bring together our rich diversity of people in a beautiful display of food, talent, skills, and showmanship. According to public safety estimates, over 6,000 people attended the festival last year. This year, we are expecting over 10,000. The Taste of Mableton is characteristic of our new city of Mableton, Cobb County’s largest city.”
