“We are thrilled to welcome the community back for a bigger and better Fall Festival this year,” said Daneea Badio-McCray, Executive Director of Marietta PAL. “It’s more than just an event—it’s a chance for families, neighbors, and community partners to come together in a safe, fun, and positive environment.”
This year’s festival is especially meaningful as it has been planned and coordinated by PAL’s own youth leadership team, who took the lead in designing activities, recruiting vendors, and shaping the overall event experience. Their dedication and creativity ensure this festival reflects the voices and ideas of the young people PAL serves.
