Weekend Events in Johns Creek
Johns Creek's event calendar runs on a small set of recurring anchors: the Saturday farmers market at the amphitheater in season, the free summer concert series at the Mark Burkhalter Amphitheater, and the two big annual festivals on the Atlanta Athletic Club side of the city. The guide only lists events confirmed through city sources.
Whatever you pick, confirm the date and time with the host before you drive, because schedules move. The site-wide events page is the fuller register for the region.

The honest note
Schedules move
Festival dates are announced by the city each year, and the arts festival and literary fair shift their exact weekends. Nothing above is a fixed date promise; the city's events page is the source for the current year. The this-weekend page only ever lists what is actually confirmed.
