Cars, food, arts and crafts and fun for kids will fill the parking lots at North Point Center East, between North Point Mall and Encore Parkway, Saturday, Sept. 20, in the seventh annual Alpharetta Rotary Fun Fest.
The Rotary club, a group of business professionals who are dedicated to the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self," use the money raised through the Fun Fest to fund a variety of service projects to make the community, both locally and worldwide, a better place to live. The Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau is helping to present the Fun Fest.
Car buffs can explore automobiles of every model and make on display at Saturday's car show.
The Kid's Fun Zone will include a petting zoo, pony rides, train rides, giant slides, rock climbing wall and plenty of activities for the youngsters, including karate exhibitions.
Music and shows featuring live entertainment will be presented throughout the day.
For those hungry families, dozens of restaurants – including The Counter, Atlantic Seafood Company, Original Pancake House, Shane's Rib Shack, Sogno Gelato, and more – will offer a variety of food options in the Cuisine Scene.
Other features include a Business Boulevard that resembles a one-day outdoor shopping mall and an arts and crafts area.
