Welcome To Kennesaw, GA

Railroad workers constructed rudimentary housing in the northwestern region of the state when the Western and Atlantic Railroad was being developed in the 1830s. A community eventually emerged at the base of Kennesaw Mountain.

Today, Kennesaw is considered one of the best locations to raise a family. Although having small town charm, the community offers big city amenities. Popular destinations include Kennesaw Mountain, the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park and the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History.

Things To Do

On the first Saturday of the month beginning in May, the community hosts the annual Outdoor Movie Series. Swift-Cantrell Park serves as the location for the night of fun, which begins with family-friendly games and other activities. At sundown, all relax on blankets or in lawn chairs to enjoy a popular box office G or PG-rated film. Concessions are also available on the night of the showing.

Kennesaw commemorates the community's early years every year during the Big Shanty Festival. The festivities start with a grand parade on Saturday morning featuring elaborately decorated floats, marching bands and more than 1,000 youngsters representing local sports organizations. In the downtown area, guests find hundreds of booths offering art and craft items, food and other merchandise. Bands entertain guests throughout the event. The festival attracts more than 60,000 visitors.

Independence Day celebrations begin on July 3 in Kennesaw. Two downtown stages offer live entertainment throughout the event. Vendors have a wide selection of popular fair foods designed to appeal to all appetites. Children and families spend their time playing games and participating in friendly competitions. At night, all enjoy one of the largest pyrotechnic displays in the state.

During the last weekend in August, Kennesaw presents the annual Pigs and Peaches BBQ Festival. Teams compete in BBQ contests and a peach dessert contest. Children also have the chance to compete for prizes in their own cooking competition. Two stages provide live entertainment offered by bands from across the country. Students are also encouraged to enter the Pig Tales essay contest.
