Fall Jonquil Festival

Smyrna's Fall Jonquil Festival, with a history of over 20 years, invites you to shop the arts and crafts market with more than 175 vendors from across the country, visit local non-profit booths and enjoy a wide selection of festival foods.  And, of course, there will be a Kids Zone with local entertainment on the stage in front of the Smyrna Library.

The Friends of the Smyrna Library will have their book sale during the festival, so plan to get some phenomenal deals on all types of books imaginable.  Keep Smyrna Beautiful will be distributing Jonquil Bulbs and promoting a cleaner Smyrna.  In addition to many other worthwhile causes plan to get your pecans from the Golden “K” Kiwanis Club and support their community programs.

Peter Hart's Atlanta Puppet Show appeal to everyone in a family audience with unique marionettes and puppet characters that sing, dance, juggle, play fiddle, break apart and come back together, squirt water, and are even launched by catapult across the stage!
