Spring in Marietta means one thing—Taste of Marietta is back!
This year marks the 30th annual celebration of one of Cobb County’s most beloved festivals, and I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been invited to serve as a judge for this year’s event!
As someone who works, eats, and plays in Marietta, it’s an absolute honor to take part in a tradition that brings our community together through flavor.

Whether you’re a long-time local or just exploring the area, it’s the perfect chance to taste the best Cobb County has to offer in one delicious afternoon.
But it’s not just about the food! Here’s what else to expect:

I first moved to Marietta, GA, at the age of nine, and it has held my heart ever since. Today, I am a proud Marietta resident along with my husband, and I still have a passion for helping people to discover, explore, and enjoy our warm and welcoming hometown. My background and professional work in marketing and real estate led me to create Merry in Marietta as a community hub to connect residents, prospective residents, and visitors with all the best that Marietta has to offer. I’m excited to show you around!
