Amazing. Nice scenery open area, shops, restaurants. Lovely garden with water fountain and memorabilia bell, etc. Nice serene location to just sit back & chill
We love going to the festivals, farmers market, and shops around Marietta Square. The restaurants are the best part bc they have a wide variety of food choices and most are great! The images are from Chalktoberfest.
Cute little garden park in the center of the downtown area of Marietta near the heart of Marietta government. Been here plenty of times. It can be difficult to find parking on weekends and evening hours after work during the week, so be prepared to drive around and look for parking. If you don’t find free street parking, you may have to pay $10 at one of the outside lots or there’s a government parking lot nearby, but I can’t quite remember the prices. Plenty of shops, galleries, restaurants and other small businesses around.
Conveniently located in one of Marietta’s trendiest areas. Well kept and maintained. Something is always going on, specially on evenings and weekends. Parking can be challenging but there are plenty of public (and paid) parking around the area
Went to the The Taste of Marietta festival, lots of shops & restaurants.
A very nice downtown area of Marietta surrounded by unique shops, businesses, and some great restaurants. Plenty of folks in the square enjoying a picnic. Kids were having fun on the model train and splashing in the fountain. Nice central fixture for a sense of community and for meeting up with friends.
GLOVER PARK CONCERT SERIES 2022: Come to the square every year for their Glover Park Concert Series. Its always so clean and the people and band always know how to use music to set the mood. The bathrooms are always clean but need more sanitizer. The Marietta clean up crew is always so nice.
Very nice little area to relax and just enjoy the ambience of the area. Plenty of sitting areas, a play area for kids, shops, restaurants, all in walking distance of each other.
Taste of Marietta was cool. Needs a little more ethnicity of food choices to be totally viable! Nice place to hang out listen to music and enjoy food and beverages!
What a lovely square. Very typical but the shops (and I do not like shopping!) were quite unique. Loved the candy store! The park had flags everywhere and felt so welcoming!
Nice place, outdoor concert area, water fountain and identical liberty bell.
I never get out on my own and I have finally decided to stop coming up with excuses as to why I cant do anything such as not having someone to do it with, and just doing it. I toured a couple of history sites and tried bubble tea for the first time, ate a $10 ramekin of French onion soup and inadvertently ended up in a March for Our Lives protest. I bought a bunch of trick items from Eddies Trick Shop, which has been here forever and one place I always stop at when in the square.
I wish we had more time. Well have to plan a return trip. Cool Beans was great as well as the farmers market. Youll most likely use paid public parking, paying online.
It was Quiet and loved Marietta Square until a strange man asked for money for the bus at 1120p.m. And Random cars parked with lights on. The Sprinklers turned on and the little friends came out Running. Lol. And felt Uncomfortable..So it was Peaceful... Thank you Universe. Mother Gaia..
Excellent place. Nice. Family atmosphere.
This is a great place to come and enjoy the park in the center of it all, with the awesome 3 tier fountain, beautifully kept lawns and florals, monuments, kids train play area, gazebo, and stage area. You can sit and relax on the many benches all around the park. In the Square are some really unique shops, restaurants, the Strand Theater, two ice cream shops, candy store, Antique shop and the courthouses. The Marietta Pizza Company has outdoor seating as well as indoors and serves the most awesome pizza, calzones, etc. The magic shop is quite a store too. It is difficult to point out all the great places to visit on the square. Plus they have concert events throughout the year in the park , as well as street vendor events here and there during the year. They have a calendar of events online to help you plan events. This is definitely a jewel available for all to enjoy. If you have not visited, I urge you to do so!
Super fun, local place to walk around. Locally owned shops are very nice, all have very kind employees. Many beautiful murals by talented artists. Many restaurants ranging from fine dining to pizza, burgers to bubble tea. Stores from soda pop shops to clothing, art gallery’s to a tattoo shop. One of my favorite places in the Atlanta area. I can always find a parking spot. I would come here more often if I could.
Met friends and family at the park. The whole ambiance of the park and family gathering during the Holiday season was beautiful. The park was decorated with trees by Marietta schools...just beautiful. Awesome job!!
We love the square great place to take the kids or even just get out of the house to hang out . Lots of cool events go on here
Highly recommended. Unique shops, great food and kind people.
Always love going there for walks with my wife. Also, they have some of the best restaurants to experience, art, and shops.
Classic place, the small train as playground is cool,the lights, decorations, the environment, the people, very calm feeling, like no rush, everyone like having good time, the scene is classic downtown I just loved it, there is a bigger train in the corner, check the pictures
Nice place to visit. If you want to eat there be prepared to spend $$+ for dinner. Taste of Marietta was over crowded this year compared to year past. Need people to direct traffic. Music wasnt very good on main stage.
I enjoyed my afternoon in Marietta Sq. The shops, the food and the people. To even the walk around the park felt so inviting and such friendly atmosphere. The best part was the live music..... thank you too you all for your time and the performance.
Some very good restaurants, bars, and breweries here. A good bit to do in a relaxed small town atmosphere.
Always something going on here!!! Family oriented or Date Night!!! Nice Vibe with all kinds of restaurants and eateries all within walking distance of each other.
Its a very beautiful place to take pictures and walk around. Also the food stores are amazing. I enjoyed the tall green trees and shades.
When the weather is good this is a wonderful Urban space lots of activity good food good drinks trees shade seating fountains all the right elements
Take a step back in time at The Square. Charming and quaint, the perfect family friendly afternoon! Offering great dining and activities, dont miss the weekend farmers market.
It’s a nice place to hangout with family specially in the evening. There are lots of different options for eateries out there . Will be visiting again.
This is such a great place to stop with family. We have our family dinners there from time to time, stop to get coffee, walk around at the great stores that are in that area and then relax while the kiddos play and run out their energy for the evening. I couldnt ask for a better place for us to create memories at!
It was a great square,you could relax. There are panhandlers everywhere in this crazy world, just keep your eyes open wide
I love this place. Been living in Marietta area for about 4 years and I just love coming to the Square. Great food, good music sometimes, good people and just genuinely a great place to spend time with your family and significant others. If you are in the Marietta area, you need to stop by the square!
I love 20 mins from here and I’m so lucky. Such a great place to hang out, grab some food and drinks. My toddler likes to play by the fountain and trains area. The weekends are busy and lively, parking can be a challenge. So much food places and the food hall is across the train track! $5 to park at the food hall. Lots of shops as well. Just pay attention when crossing the crosswalks! Some drivers don’t pay attention to the lights. It’s also a great place for dates! ☺️
We love the square and the beautiful church, great food, and shops, as well as the history in the square!
Great place to go for a walk. Or take some pictures. There is alot of places to get something to eat as well.
Great place for a family stroll. The shops around the square offer ample opportunities for sourcing unique, personal gifts that cannot be found at the big box stores. There is a train that runs along the edge of the square and many places hang out as you watch it go by.
The square was really gorgeous and had plenty of shops for all your shopping needs!
My boyfriend took me here for the first time over the fourth of July and it was so cute with all the American flags up. We went to a few shops, one had records that was fun to check out and get a few. Nice place to spend the afternoon. Would recommend.
Very fun and entertaining place for family. We had a blast for the 4th of July!
Cool, train themed playground for kids. Plenty of parking (2 hour limit from 8am to 6pm every day) and lots of shops and restaurants surrounding the square
I loved the center square area of Marietta Square! Its a great place for kids to play and for adults to enjoy a small park area in the middle of shops and restaurants.
The Square is always clean and inviting. There is something for everyone to explore here. You can visit historic sites or the Gone With the Wind museum, the kids can play on the train playground or ride bikes through connecting trails, here are great locally owned restaurants, breweries and unique shoppes.
I love this place. There are many stores so there something for everyone but the main store I love it is Tiny Bubbles. I love 💜this store there poping pearls are so good and I recommend that you go there.
Always love going here, the shops and restaurants are all amazing and theres almost always some kind of event!
An absolute beautiful place!!! The view was amazing a must see. (Also really loved the candy shop ❤)
Love coming here with the family and window shopping, getting a quick bite to eat and maybe picking up something cute for the Wife! Still has that small town feel and suburban busy area. There is a theatre a park, ice cream parlor and toy store!
As far as the police head quarters and station down there be aware. Other than that if you want to go to any type of event for any culture they got you covered. All the food,treats,entertainment,and sight seeing is all in one place. If you want to see some art take a stroll.
My plans was to visit one Gallery for the day. I noticed a lady sitting in a front of window. 35 North Park Square. North Park Gallery was the place. I walked in holding a piece of art that Im working on. Her name was Clairi Collar. A welcoming beautiful young lady with great views and thoughts. Im planning to return and Hopes to develop a wonderful working relationship. After meeting her. I decided to meditate on the beautiful inspiring experience and call it a day.
We ended up here when our Plan A fell through! A lovely and quaint place to spend a couple of hours....
This was my first visit here and I was really impressed with people, kids and adults plus the activities going on.
We have been coming to Chalktober Fest for several years now and love walking around the square!
Its the gem in marietta! Parking can be a problem but lots of restaurants and shops. Its a nice visit on a pretty day!
Great location to spend an evening with various events taking place around the square frequently. The shops around the square are worth exploring with your loved ones..
Visited Marietta Square with my little family for the Art in the Park Festival and had a wonderful time. It was our first time to this particular neighborhood and it offered a wonderful day of activities and sights. I really like the old downtown feel of the area. We visited a few local shops (including an ice cream shop and a really excellent trick shop) in addition to the festival vendors. All in all its a nice place to visit.
Living in Powder Springs over 20 years, Marietta Square has always been one of my favorites.❤️💯
Always family activities and festivals. And great restaurants and pubs
Fun place to visit. Lots of food options.
I always have fun when I go to the square. There are lots of shops & restaurants. Make sure you get fresh produce & homemade food at the Farmers Market.
Beautiful quaint Town Square, with the feeling of a small town feeling reminiscent of a small town in the movies .Like a town from Forest Gump or some idk.
It is like stepping back in time in a small town that actually has a multicultural community living in harmony.
Nice small town atmosphere and enjoyed learning about their history especially of William Root.
Love the square, the craft shows here are great and fun for families. I get my dog food at backstreet too, the only store I can find with the food I use. Park is taken care of greatly, only wish they’d do better on the bathrooms
We love visiting the shops around the square. The fountain is also a favorite!
Visited Marietta Square for taste Of Marietta - Ill be back for Pie Bar, wine store (with wine tastings) and other breweries.
Always such a lovely place to visit,new renovations to enjoy! The weather was spectacular too😄
The park is a great place to hang out, and its rimmed by restaurants. The people are all so friendly.
Great location, restaurants, park, atmosphere, a large number of events to take part in. Great for adults and youths.
Beautiful place to spend a day!! Whole family can enjoy over there!!! Take your kids and go for fun day!!! Plenty of space in side the Marietta squares garden for a children’s to play!! There is a train inside the square where children love to play!! You can enjoy the view of squares with a beautiful fountain in the center of square!! There is lots of place to sit and enjoy the environment!! If you want to talk a walk tour!!! You can go to have fun in museum which is in walking distance!! You can talk plenty of photo in front of the graffiti around the place!!! When you feel hungry !!! You will not able to decide in which restaurant you will go!!! Lots of place to drink and food and shopping !!! Lots and lots of things to see and do!!! Just go and enjoy your day!!!
Really pretty area, lots of unique shops and restaurants.
Nice place to experience the local community (shops, restaurants, farmers market)
Went here for the tree lighting. Did not wait in line to see Santa. Fun!
Great time just too many homeless ppl. I did get engaged here though. Instagram: iyeeffect snapchat: iyeeffect90
Great atmosphere, places to shop and eat. Great for historical buffs. Have wonderful art displays.
Very clean park and family friendly. A real nice place to take a walk and get some food. The nearby Marietta market has tons of options with choices for everyone.
Went to spend part of the afternoon with my daughter and sister in law and had a wonderful time! Great place to go walk around. There are shops, good food places and a few cafés
Nice and relaxing place
Great place to go during the Christmas season and during the summer for good food and ice cream and equally good entertainment.
This was my first visit to Marietta.Their festival was happening but the first thing I came upon was the police with their war surplus super rescue vehicle. They were welcoming folks inside. I was not entirely comfortable with it.I got to visit the 3 antique shops in town and bought a couple of pieces for my political campaign collection.It seemed a welcoming town.
Love to walk around the square and take in the shops and see a train or two.
Fun place to grab some photos. There is a slide for toddlers and some great shops to visit!
Visited Marietta Square Market, had a nice.,fun experience.
There’s always something fun to do here but the parking situation is SO HORRIBLE. like it’s really a nightmare, especially on weekends.
Great place to walk and ppl watch while catching some food and beverages vibes
This square is great. Just went to Chalktoberfest, which had so many tents, artists, and drinks! There are plenty of food options on the square, and the stage can be rented for events (my wife and I had our reception here and it turned out fantastic).
Wonderful place to come eat, drink, relax and enjoy a true sense of community!
Was there for Aumaud Arbery Prayer Vigil and Commemoration of Aumaud Arbery Day. The program was excellent and the outdoor space and stage was perfect.
Fun place. Great food and drinks and cool shops.
A great downtown square/plaza.
Great place to visit. Wonderful restaurants and shops line the area. Friday Art Walks, farmers market and artisan markets on weekends are so much fun. Cant wait until the festivals start back.
Quaint place with plenty of unique stores to shop. Clean and family friendly. Visiting from Illinois. A must see for visitors.
Fun place for the kids. Love the Saturday market!
Sublime squared! A stroll, a bite to eat, or a quick stop in a cute shop, the Square in Marietta has it all. Families, couples, and kids can all find something fun. Always clean, safe, and open to all walks of life. A great mix of people with laughter and smiles all around.
My wife and I love coming to the Taste of Marietta. Great food and atmosphere.
Very nice. Had a lit of activity since the sun was out and the temperature was nice.
Hard to find parking so get there early if you need to get to the courts in time unless u pay on the lot
Cool place to just hang out, eat or shop!
Its so pretty here. With the fountain and surrounding flowers, gazebo and stage, the area makes the perfect backdrop for any occasion. There is pretty of food places which is behind the square and several directly on the square.
Glover Park is nice open area for relaxing or picnic - with fountain, gazebo and the Liberty Bell. The park is surrounded by a multitude of restaurants where one can be seated indoors or outdoors, or take out food to go enjoy in the open air park.
Its JUNETEENTH Celebration. Lots of music, food, and the atmosphere is great...
Its very very crowded but its really fun. There are so many shops and everything about is superb.
Attended the Fallen Police Officers Memorial service. What an amazing experience.
Nice place and different kind of shopping experience
This is always like a vacation away from home. Always awesome shops and great food spots. Take your family there and you wont regret it.
Love downtown.. lots restaurants. Shops. In warm months concerts outside on Square on Friday nights.
The square is a nice setting for activities. We were there on the 4th of July for the annual parade and fair. The weather was hot but the vendors were cool!
Today was a great day to tour!
So much this local culture has to offer. The food and environment at The Marietta Local was fantastic! The Local Exchange piqued my impulses of discovery so much I spent an hour or more wandering through the gallery of local foods, stories, crafts, wines, and art. A must visit.
Having fun at the Annual Chalktober Fest! Very impressed with the chalk artists!!!
Great area to eat walk around and enjoy the weather
Great part of town. Always have fun activities going like small town America feel. There are fun shops and restaurants and CSX train runs pretty frequently through town. Great for little train fans in your family.they also have the court house on the square and business licenses division. So truly the heart of Marietta
Nice place to sit unwind relax and just take a break from it all. Enjoy the fresh air and the scenery. Good place to spend with your hunny or your little hunny bunns (kiddos) or even just sit and soak up some sunshine. If you are getting married this maybe a good place to take your photos.
Its always a beautiful place to be. The Marietta square is surrounded with the history of the south.Fine eating experiences on every corner, an old Theater to highlight the corner of the square.Come see.
Wonderful area!!! Found the coolest antique store!!!
Great weekend day outing with great scenery and eateries near.
Went to Chalktoberfest on the square. This area was made for these types of events. Food trucks in multiple locations off side streets around the square. Chalk art in the street with arts & crafts vendors in both sides of the street. Shelter from the sun could be found in the heart of the square where live music was continously. It was a good time for all. Try to make it out next year. You wont be disappointed!
I ate brunch at BlaqHaus. The food, drinks, music and service were spectacular. We had a large group and the service was still good. I had fish and grits. My husband had lamb chops and wings.. i will be going back again.

2022-05-20I visited for a food festival. So very disappointed. Vendors tripled prices for just tasting items. Food wasnt good. Would not go to a food festival held here. Parking limited. Marietta police and fire dept. Were available to assust with situations. Very professional. I have visited just to sit in the gazebo or listen to live music. I have eaten at many of the restaurants there and was never disappointed. I’ve gone there on a date night and even was a spectator of several weddings at the gazebo. Enjoyed very much.i have never been disappointed with any of the restaurants that Ive dined at. Many small restaurants and you can eat outside and enjoy. Its very quaint. Would recommend for a date night or just to go chill.

2022-06-01My best friend got a marriage proposal on Easter Sunday. She said yes! Everything was perfect except there was some man ranting and yelling his information to everyone. Definitely interesting.. to say the least

2021-09-19Historic Marietta Square is a true gem. A classic center fountain and train playground provides a great setting to spend some time outdoors on a day with nice weather. A lot of variety in shops and restaurants that line the square. Frequent festivals and outdoor events provide plenty of reasons to visit.

2022-04-24Went to Taste of Marietta today.Lots of people, lots of food, lots of people eating food!There was cultural representation from every ethnic community in both food and people.Everyone was having a great time.Lots of police presence.Lots of music.There are a variety of clothing stores and restaurants on the square and a beautiful park with a large fountain.I assume that it is busy even when its not the taste of Marietta 😊

2022-06-26My family and I enjoy the square. Very family oriented and friendly. High end to budget friendly dining, little something for everyone. I enjoy Macs Chophouse for a great drink and quality food. La Cubana has great home cooked style Latino food and coffee and cool beans for their whole beans. Also there are weekly activities and events all spring and summer long with occasional winter events as well.

2022-04-25Rather sad to see such a populated area with its main downtown square so stuck in the 90s. Wonder what they do with all the tax revenue. Certainly not city development or beautification.

2021-10-10Had a great time at Chalk Fest today. Very organized. Many varied vendors. Well run.
