Here are a few things to do in Cobb County over the weekend, from Friday, October 24, to Sunday, October 26, 2025.

Friday October 24 

The Georgia Ballet Presents: Dracula (runs from Oct 23 to Oct 26)

The Marietta-based Georgia Ballet will present Dracula from Thursday, Oct. 23 through Sunday Oct. 26.

The announcement on the City of Marietta website describes the performance as follows:

The Georgia Ballet opens its 65th Anniversary Season with the spine-tingling Georgia Ballet Premiere of Dracula, running October 23–26, 2025, at the Jennie T. Anderson Theatre, located just minutes from Marietta Square. This haunting production brings Bram Stoker’s gothic masterpiece to life through powerful choreography by Norbe Risco, Artistic Director of the Kentucky Ballet Theatre.

Set against the eerie backdrop of Transylvania, Romania, Dracula follows the mysterious Count as he casts his shadow across the city. What begins as Jonathan Harker’s strange business trip quickly descends into a chilling tale of seduction, terror, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. At the heart of the story lies Mina, whose destiny becomes tragically entwined with Dracula’s unrelenting thirst for immortality.

Tickets are available at https://www.georgiaballet.org/season or by calling (770) 528-0881. The Jennie T. Anderson Theatre is located at 548 South Marietta Parkway SE, adjacent to the Cobb Civic Center.
