Guide To Cartersville
 The Legacy Fine Arts Festival (formerly known as Festival 34º84º - The Coordinates for Fine Art) is an outdoor festival featuring artists from throughout the southeast, great food, and live bands. You will find some of the finest original artwork in the region at this juried show which includes painting, drawing, glass, jewelry, photography, pottery, sculpture and other forms of two- and three-dimensional art. Meet the artists and enjoy their work in a relaxed atmosphere of warm sunshine and cool autumn breezes in Georgia’s northern foothills.
The festival will feature “A Taste of Cartersville” with delicious food provided by our best restaurants and caterers. Continuous live music, from classical rock to soothing blues, is the perfect accompaniment exhibiting artists. Downtown Cartersville has many shops to browse and restaurants to sample, even an Irish pub. The Booth Western Art Museum, the second largest art museum in Georgia, is adjacent to the square.
