Marietta sits well outside the Perimeter in Cobb County, so a visit here is typically a separate trip from intown Atlanta rather than something to combine with a Downtown or Midtown stop. The square itself stays walkable year-round, with most of the neighborhood’s restaurants and shops facing directly onto it or one of the streets running off it, and its bandstand hosts concerts and markets throughout the warmer months.
