Info here says the event is free, but it should read “admission is free,” and inflatables, bungee rides, and rock climbing have fees associated unless of course it’s all free but I’ve seen that before at one of these events.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the comment. At events like this, things you watch such as the ski exhibitions, bird show, live entertainment, etc. are usually free and things you participate in such as eating food, buying from arts and crafts vendors, climbing, jumping, etc. are typically fee based.
Do you know where the park N Ride will be? That would be good to know a head of time for traffic purposes. Never having been at this festival do you have a map of the facility or locations of booths?
Hi Marian,
Shuttles will run from various spots downtown all day Saturday and Sunday. Head towards Acworth Beach and look for the shuttle stop signs.
Where can I find information about having a booth advertising my group, or is it already too late to have one?
Hi James,
For application information, please contact Tod Miller at (770) 423-1330.
The family and I love the firework show. every year we go and have a good time.
Will the boat ramp be open? We love to take our little Hobie sailboat out on this lake… no choppy waves from motor boats and PWCs.
Hi Dennis,
We did not notice any private boats on the lake, so it appears it might be closed during the festival. Perhaps you could check with the event organizers at (770) 917-1234.
Are pets allowed to attend also?
Hi Cassie,
Yes, pets are allowed.

Hi Ben,
We do not have any information about a fireworks show, so perhaps you could check with the event organizers at (770) 917-1234. If anyone reading this has more information, please let us know and we will update the article.
Is it not on Monday the 6th?
Hi Pam,
Unfortunately this great festival is only on Saturday and Sunday. If you are looking for a fun festival for tomorrow, we would definitely recommend Art in the Park in Marietta. Here is a link if you would like more information:

We purchased a picture from one of the vendors that spelled words with various pictures of letters. We were very impressed by their product. Is there a way that we can get in touch with them for some additional pictures?
Thank you,
Jay
Is there a schedule available online that lists events and shows that will be going on at the festival?
Thanks!
Hi Katie,
The Love the Lake Festival will feature two entertainment stages – the Gazebo Stage will feature Scott Thompson with his acoustic sounds on Saturday 11am to 3pm and Sunday noon to 4pm. The “Beach House Stage†will feature dance groups, school choruses, clogging groups, and local bands, however we were unable to find a schedule anywhere online.
Third Annual CiCi’s Cup will take place on Saturday September 3rd on the beach at the Love the Lake Festival from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Is the lake open to swimming during the festival?
