Mableton Day is Saturday, May 16th from 8am to 4pm at the Mable House Complex at 5239 Floyd Rd. The day begins with the Mableton 5K at 8am, followed by the Mableton Jr. Fun Run. Hundreds of runners will enjoy this course through neighborhood streets and back to the Mable House Complex. Walkers are welcome, too!  Get your kids on the route to lifelong fitness and sign them up for the 1-mile Mableton Jr. Fun Run. You will be able to register for these events on Saturday, so long as space remains.

Entertainment of all kinds will be onstage all day, from professional bands to school groups.  There will be a petting zoo, inflatables, artist demos, tours of the historic Mable House and vintage cars.  Visit the vendor area and meet local businesses and nonprofit organizations, and then enjoy lunch too.  JJ's Play House will be launching rockets, the South Cobb Regional Library will be showing off a 3-D printer, and the Atlanta Braves B.A.T. Team will join the fun.

Don't miss the fun!  Make plans now to be a part of the biggest day in Mableton!  Mableton Day is an all-volunteer effort produced by the Mableton Day Coalition, a joint effort of MIC, the South Cobb Arts Alliance and the Amateur Advocate Association. 

For decades, the South Cobb Arts Alliance (SCAA) has presented free concerts each

summer at the Mable House Barnes Amphitheatre.  The 2015 season kicks off with Geoff Achison, an Australian guitarist with a sound incorporating R&B, Blues and Soul.

Bring a blanket and sit under the stars, or take a seat in the covered amphitheatre and enjoy great music in our own backyard!  Tables close to the stage are available for a small fee.  Bring a picnic dinner or visit the new catering company and enjoy a great evening.  Click here for details about the concert.  Click here for more about the entire season of free concerts.

The South Cobb Arts Alliance (SCAA) has announced that Food Truck Thursdays will begin on May 21st and continue through the summer every other week until early October.  Like last summer, the hours will be 5pm to 8pm, with music and arts and crafts for the kids.  

SCAA President Slade Gulledge posted on our MIC Facebook page that the following food trucks are expected on May 21st:  Happy Belly Curbside Kitchen, Flatbread Bistro, Mac The Cheese, One Love Jerk Grill, Heavenly Dolce Snobayou. YUM!!

Invite your friends and neighbors and spend a summer evening under the big trees with good food and good times!  

Again this year, MIC volunteers will operate the Mableton Farmers Market each Thursday from 8:30am to 12:30pm through August 27th at the Mable House Complex.  Come check out the locally-grown fresh fruits and vegetables, natural gourmet seasonings, homemade jams & jellies, handmade soaps and more!  We'll also have cooking demonstrations to show you quick and easy ways to prepare dishes with fresh ingredients from the Market.  Buy fresh nutritious produce, help our local small farmers and see what else there is to offer every Market day.

The Market will once again partner with Wholesome Wave Georgia to double SNAP customer purchases.  If you or someone you know is low income, does not have a SNAP EBT card and might be eligible, WWG has expert folks to help you through the process of finding out and applying for SNAP (formerly food stamp) benefits.  WWG will have a representative at the Market booth on Mableton Day, May 16th, at the Market on Thursday, June 11th and Thursday, July 2nd.  Click here for details about the information you will need when applying.

Market Manager Dave McDaniel will be at Mableton Day.  Visit with him there or email him with any questions.
