A Word From Mayor Derek Easterling
Wow! Can you believe it? School is out for the summer! Our graduates are off to explore “big-people” jobs, the military or college in a world of opportunity. Let us continue to pray for them to have great success in whatever they choose to pursue.

Around the city, our First Friday Concert Series is in full swing, our Kennesaw Grand Prix 5K Race Series is back, the flowers and foliage at Smith-Gilbert Gardens are in full bloom, parks are filled with friends and families gathering on the weekends, and we are enjoying longer, lazier days filled with sunshine. Whatever it is you find yourself doing this summer, I hope you are enjoying some time for yourself.
A reminder that just around the corner is our Fourth on the Third Celebration, so make your plans to join us downtown to celebrate Independence Day. Contact parks and recreation to reserve a table in the stage area.
The city is excited to launch place branding for the downtown Kennesaw area.
Downtown Kennesaw has been on the move — attracting new development, building new parks and public spaces, and playing host to a growing variety of community events. The goal of a unique and authentic brand identity is to help establish downtown Kennesaw as a stand-alone destination, providing it with a vital sense of self to carry its story into the community with greater impact. The downtown branding reflects the vibrancy, forwardfocus, variety and hometown feel of downtown Kennesaw. The artisan-inspired logo captures the diversity and excitement that is downtown. The colorful background accentuates the variety available downtown, with a subtle nod to Kennesaw Mountain and Little Kennesaw Mountain as the backdrop of the city. Two custom typefaces blend the character of a historic district with a decidedly modern feel, striking a timeless balance that celebrates the place itself.
