The annual Mableton Day celebration is set for May 13 at the Mable House Amphitheatre complex.
“We are excited to kick off the 12th Annual Mableton Day Celebration,” said Albert McRae III, Chairman of the Mableton Day Coalition. “It’s the time of year we meet exciting non-profits, businesses, and volunteers that serve and believe in the Mableton community the same as we do.”
The day kicks off for the Mableton Day 5K & Kid’s Fun Run at 8 a.m. Following the 5K race is the Mableton Jr. 1-mile Fun Run.
5K entries are limited to 500 runners and the Fun Run is set for 100, so make it a priority to register online now. Online registration though May 6 at www.mabletonday.com/5k-race. Race day registration is $35
The day’s festivities continue through 4 p.m.
Entertainment for Mableton Day is full of experienced professional, local and new entertainment, school performances, and special guests. The schedule includes a Salute to the Armed Forces, local awards, and ends with the Community Spirit Awards and Trophy ceremony. Past Mableton Day crowds have enjoyed live bands, cheerleaders, solo performances, Chinese dancers, cloggers, ballet, and melodies of jazz, contemporary, hip hop, country, blues and much more.
Whether jumping on inflatables, testing fitness through hoops, learning safety tips, playing old fashioned games, creating pieces of art work, or just relaxing, the Kids Corner is a fun place for children to play and learn.
Demonstrations by accomplished artists will be presented throughout the day. You can watch a potter turn clay into a cup or bowl. See a landscape emerge from watercolors or charcoal pencils. The artists are happy to talk about their art with visitors.
The 8th Annual Mableton Day Car Cruise-In features classic cars from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is registration fee. However, registration is still required, either before the event or on Mableton Day, if space is still available. This show is for fun for everyone with an emphasis on exposing our youth to American automotive history.
