Sally Macauley, executive director of the Marietta Museum of Art, joins co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick for this week’s Around Atlanta edition of the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio show to discuss the upcoming chalk and beer festival, Chalktoberfest, in Marietta on October 8 and 9.
Over 30,000 attendees are expected to attend the two-day festival to spend time with family and friends while enjoying more than 125 craft brews, live music, local food, kid activities and chalk art created in real time, right in front of attendee’s eyes.
Since its first year, Chalktoberfest has grown from presenting only two professional artists from all over the U.S., to more than 80 from all over the U.S. and three outside countries. This is the biggest year yet and, new this year, will feature an antique car show.
