Just days before the official start of the summer season, Powder Springs’ annual
“SpringsFest” will return June 18 in Thurman Springs Park, featuring live
entertainment, food trucks, artisan vendors, stilt walkers, beer & wine, and more.
Admission and parking are free.
Festivities begin at 1 p.m. and conclude at 9 p.m., with live on-stage performances
on the Hardy Family Automotive Amphitheater stage organized by Nu Star Maker
Performing Arts & Talent Management. Other activities include face painting,
bouncy houses, game trucks and more. This highly anticipated festival is being put
on by the City of Powder Springs in partnership with Powder Springs Business
Group.
Entertainers lined up so far for the event include The Grey Street Band, known for
performing hits spanning from the 60’s to modern day; Something For The Soul, a
band that performs favorites from pop, rock, old school and new school R&B; and
Moksha Rao, an Atlanta-based cultural dancer whose unique performance style
showcases intricate footwork, spectacular speed, flexibility, and a blend of her
classical roots with fusion elements. Serving as mistress of ceremonies and
comedic entertainer is LaQuitcha Lanay Walker, also known as “Lady Q,” who has
hosted several award shows throughout Atlanta and the 2014 and 2018
PrayzeFactor People’s Choice Award winner for Best Christian Comedian.
No outside food & drinks or coolers will be allowed, and attendees are
encouraged to purchase from the local businesses at the event. No pets are
allowed, but service animals are welcomed.
“SpringsFest is an annual event since 2017. It’s been a hit each year, and it’s grown
each year since its inception. It’s gotten bigger and better, and the citizens absolutely love it. They look forward to this community festival with entertainment, various food options and vendors selling their products,” said Henry Lust, Mayor Pro-Tem for the City of Powder Springs. “The event this year
will be on June 18, 2022, as part of the Juneteenth Weekend, the theme being ‘Community Unity in the Springs.’”
Managed by Ricketts Rhodes Events, SpringsFest will ensure an exciting Father’s
Day weekend for residents of Powder Springs and surrounding communities,
