The Galleria Chat appears on this blog each week. The Chat
provides a hearty helping of events and announcements to keep you in the know
about the area surrounding the Atlanta Galleria Office Park. So without further
ado…
Outdoor Hors d'Oeuvres. Say farewell to summer this Saturday with the Taste of Smyrna, a full day of music, entertainment and, of course, food on the city’s Village Green. Sample cuisine from the area’s top restaurants while enjoying music and activities for the kids.
Marietta Fish Market, Small Cakes Smyrna, Village Taqueria, Buckhead BBQ, Meehan’s, The Melting Pot, King of Pops and a number of your other favorite restaurants will be there serving up samples ranging in price from $.50 to $4. Admission is free.
The action begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 8 p.m. The Village Green is located at 200 Village Green Circle. Check for updates on the event’s Facebook page.
Run For It! Before you head over to the Taste of Smyrna, it might be a good idea to burn off a few calories first. What better way to do that than by running in the Hot Lips Hustle 5K? This race supports The Smile Train’s worldwide mission to treat children with cleft lips or palates.
The race, in its ninth year, was founded by a young Marietta girl who was born with a cleft palate and who wants to help children with the same condition whose families can’t afford treatments. The race begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday at the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, located at 2922 Sandy Plains Road in Marietta.

Car entry is only $20 for preregistered vehicles and $25 the day of the show. All proceeds will go toward providing new hospital beds. Admission for spectators is free. Visit www.smyrnacares.org for more information.
Best of Brew. Have you had the chance to check out Brew with a View at the Earl Smith Strand Theatre? This summertime event series welcomes guests up on the theater’s rooftop for drinks and a great view of Marietta.
This Friday, the Strand is hosting Best of Brew, a free concert that brings together a few of the fan-favorite artists from previous events: Chad Yochum and Travis Cottle, 10/9 Central and The Hill Street Roots Band. The concert begins at 8 p.m.
