Shakerag Arts and Crafts Festival ushers in spring this weekend

The Peachtree City Parks and Recreation Department is sponsoring the Spring Shakerag Arts and Crafts Festival April 16 and April 17 at Shakerag Knoll Park in Peachtree City.

The Festival opens to the public from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. on Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Admission and parking is free.

Shakerag Knoll was once known as the place to signal the train to stop by shaking a handkerchief or rag, then a voting district, and now a Peachtree City Park. The Shakerag Arts and Crafts Festival is known for its handmade arts, crafts, food, music, and fun for all.

New this year, children of all ages will have the opportunity to be involved with making arts and crafts. There will be activities such as face painting and decorating doorknob nameplates. Shakerag Arts and Crafts Festival is for everyone, so bring your entire family.

Come hungry, for there is a varied menu with food vendors offering baked goods and meal options. Tables are available so plan to stay for mealtime. Whatever the weather, don’t miss this year’s fun.
