Farm Babies: Farm Babies Fest is Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 5pm at Aullwood Audubon Farm. There are two days of baby animals, farm adventures, and old fashioned fun at the farm!

Oakwood History: On Saturday the City of Oakwood is unveiling the first of their historic markers commemorating the 1872 platting of Oakwood. There also are historical walking tours where you’ll learn more about this history and the four men who first envisioned a “Town of Oakwood”. It begins at 1:30pm.

Explore Art: On Sunday if you go to Front Street you can explore the artwork of more than 200 artists! Shop and learn how it’s made in their large outdoor artisan market and art studios, 11am to 4pm Check out art exhibitions inside galleries and enjoy live music and lunch in the courtyard.
