North Georgia State Fair brings family, food and fun
The North Georgia State Fair is back at Jim R. Miller Park in Marietta, running through Sunday, Sept. 28.
MARIETTA, Ga. - There are certain things you expect to find at a fair: cotton candy, rides, carnival games.
And yes, you’ll find those things at the 93rd Annual Superior Plumbing Presents North Georgia State Fair. But you’ll also find a performing robot, a "strolling piano," and one of the world’s top fire-eaters!
As you can tell, this year’s North Georgia State Fair is going to be one of the ages — which is why this morning on Good Day Atlanta, we spent a few hours at Jim R. Miller Park in Marietta getting a behind-the-scenes look! This year’s fair runs through Sunday, September 28th, filling the park with a mind-boggling array of live entertainment (we’re talking everything from escape artist Lady Houdini to the thrilling Zerbini Family Circus), rides (including a new one called Flying Cows!), and plenty of delicious food.
Speaking of food, our friends from Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q are once again represented at the fair, and fired up the smokers this morning to make sure we didn’t leave hungry! Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q has been a local favorite since 1990, which means the team is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.
Hours for the 93rd Annual Superior Plumbing Presents North Georgia State Fair are 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Monday through Thursday, 4:00 p.m. to Midnight on Friday, 10:00 a.m. to Midnight on Saturday, and 12:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Sunday. Gate admission is $15 for adults, $10 for seniors 55 and over, and free for kids 10 and under.
