“Celebrate Chamblee has something for all ages — music, arts and crafts, food, a kids’ play area and much more,” says City Manager and CEO Niles Ford in a press release. “Bring your lawn chairs, blankets and the whole family for a full day of fun and celebration.”

The event is free and open to the public with food — both local and international dishes — beverages and desserts available for purchase from participating vendors from Chamblee and surrounding areas.

There will also be a kids play area for Young festival goers that will feature moon walks, clowns, an art studio and face painting, among other activities.
