STONECREST, GA—Stonecrest Fest, in its 4^th Year, will return on Saturday, Oct. 8, noon to 8 p.m., after a two-year hiatus as result of the COVID-19 health pandemic. 

The outdoor festival will be held in the parking lot of the Privi complex( former Sears building) at The Mall at Stonecrest, 8020 Mall Parkway. 

The festival was postponed last weekend due to inclement weather forecast as a result of Hurricane Ian, which forced many evacuees from Florida to Georgia.

The festival boasts a day of music, arts, crafts, entertainment, live performances, a youth talent show, car and bike  show and an interactive Drone Soccer Exhibition. STREETZ 94.5FM will be at Stonecrest Fest with a live remote.
