Other Area Attractions

Cobb County offers a diverse mix of arts and culture in both well-known and off-the-beaten-path spots — it all just depends on what you are looking for. For a night on the town, you can take in a show or concert at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre; enjoy a night on the patio at a quaint chef-driven restaurant; or socialize with friends at The Battery Atlanta. If off-the-beaten-path is what appeals to you, there are great little finds that usually only the locals know. (Hint: Try all of Cobb’s six cities’ downtown areas. They all have hidden gems.) Almost every weekend showcases a local event, outdoor street festival, under-the-stars concert, or unique experience to enjoy.
