Cherokee County’s Art & Jazz Festival is scheduled for Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Cherokee Veterans Park in Canton. The free event combines visual art vendors, food trucks and live jazz. Organizers describe an expanded festival this year, though a detailed set-by-set performance schedule was not available in the listing.
The reason to consider this over a conventional craft market is the music. A live jazz performance gives you something to enjoy while browsing original art, and the mixture of improvisation and visual work can make for a more rewarding afternoon than simply shopping booths.
The park is a drive from Buckhead, so check the location and music updates before committing. If you go, bring a camera and leave enough time to listen to a full set rather than rushing through the vendors.
What to do: Consider Saturday’s free 11 a.m.–6 p.m. art-and-jazz festival in Canton if the drive makes sense.
