With a new name and a new venue Johns Creek will present Arts on the Creek, a free music and arts festival Labor Day Weekend at Johns Creek United Methodist Church.
This is the second year that the Johns Creek Chamber of Commerce Arts and Culture Committee will host the family entertainment event. It will be Saturday, Aug. 30 and Sunday, Aug. 31.
This year's festival will kick-off with a new name, logo and venue. Arts on the Creek will sport a new logo created by local watercolor artist and committee member Ann Marie Noyman and Ron Cioffi, chair of the Arts and Culture committee. Johns Creek United Methodist Church, the new venue for the event, will provide more than 30,000 square feet for the 150 artists, vendors, children's entertainment and other activities.
This year the Johns Creek Children's Museum will provide a variety of children's activities, while local and area vendors and sponsors will be on hand to provide food and beverages during the event. Lawn seating will accommodate more than 2,000.
Musicians and dancers will also entertain festival guests on the main stage throughout the two-day event. Among the acts scheduled are Lindsay Appel, Rred, Atlanta Jazz Syndicate, Jazzmatic and Jordan Humphrey.
"Our mission is to give Johns Creek an annual event that brings music, dance, fine arts and great shopping of art to our growing and vibrant city," Cioffi said. "As one of the most affluent and influential cities in the state, we deserve a top-quality arts festival to add to the quality of life for our residents. The festival also give businesses and restaurants a chance to sell their products and services to our growing community in a fun-filled environment."
Space is still available for artists and vendors - from area businesses, restaurants, children games providers, etc. – interested in selling products and services. Sponsors are to support the festival. All artists, vendors and sponsors can register at http://www.artsonthecreek.org.
