"We are thrilled to welcome the community back for a bigger and better Fall Festival this year," said Daneea Badio-McCray, Executive Director of Marietta PAL. "It's more than just an event-it's a chance for families, neighbors, and community partners to come together in a safe, fun, and positive environment."
