The Big Shanty Festival

May 2, 2022

The people who converged on downtown Kennesaw for the 46th annual Superior Plumbing Kennesaw/Big Shanty Festival April 9-10 experienced Jekyll-and-Hyde weather – cold and windy the first day, hot and sunny the second. But regardless of what day they attended, festival-goers were able to shop for unique arts and crafts, enjoy delicious food, watch entertainers perform and participate in kids’ activities.

Sweet Zensations was on hand to provide tasty ice cream to hungry festival-goers.
