About the city
Marietta, a historic city in the U.S. state of Georgia and part of the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, combines the atmosphere of a lively city center with convenient access to concerts, sporting events and other forms of entertainment across Cobb County and the Atlanta area. Marietta Square and Glover Park form the natural center of city life, with restaurants, shops and spaces that host concerts, festivals and special events. Thanks to its combination of historic character and proximity to major arenas and stadiums across the wider area, Marietta can be a practical base for visitors who want to combine their trip with events and additional sightseeing.
For getting around the city and Cobb County, CobbLinc is an important bus system, with Marietta Transfer Center serving as a hub and connections to other transit points, including Cumberland Transfer Center and access to the MARTA network via Arts Center Station. For international arrivals, the region's main air gateway is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, from where the journey to Marietta can continue by public transportation with transfers, taxi, rideshare services or car. Travelers arriving by intercity train can use Atlanta's Amtrak station on Peachtree Street.

Before or after an event, it is worth walking around Marietta Square and Glover Park, exploring the historic streets and architecture of downtown, and making time for local restaurants and cafés. For visitors looking for more nature and history, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is located near the city and offers trails, viewpoints and insight into the area's history. This combination of a city square, historic downtown and green spaces makes it possible for a concert or sporting event to become part of a broader Marietta experience rather than just a short visit to an arena or stadium.
