A number of schools and other organizations in East Cobb have had Veterans Day observations, but there are still quite a few going on Saturday—the Nov. 11 formal holiday—and also on Sunday.
In case you missed our weekend events preview, here’s what’s on tap for Veterans Day:
- Two concerts, one Saturday at Transfiguration Catholic Church (1815 Blackwell Road) that starts at 2:30 p.m. featuring the Metropolitan Atlanta Community band and is followed by a commemorative mass at 5; and Sunday at 3 at the Lassiter Concert Hall (2601 Shallowford Road). It’s the annual Veterans Day concert performed by the Cobb Wind Symphony, and it’s free to the public;
- On Saturday, a couple new Veterans Day events in East Cobb: A car cruise theme is featured from 8-12 at Club Pilates East Cobb (2960 Shallowford Road, Suite 200); and a public celebration at Merchants Walk Shopping Center (1280 Johnson Ferry Road) from 11-8 includes sidewalk sales, a food truck and more;
- If you’re up for a parade, the City of Marietta is holding its 13th Annual Veterans Day parade starting at 11 a.m. at Roswell Street Baptist Church, and winding its way to the square. That’s where a Veterans Day ceremony will take place at noon.
