Over the past year, COVID-19 has drastically affected events, from live music and stage performances to festivals and 5Ks. Now that the worst of the pandemic seems to be behind us and with vaccines readily available for those who want them, more and more people are feeling safer venturing out and more and more events are being added to calendars for cities and event venues throughout the north Gwinnett area.
While local events and activities are bouncing back, from the Braselton Antique & Artisan Festival to local summer camps for kids to Sugar Hill’s Splash Park, precautions against COVID-19 are still being taken at some venues, attractions and events. Double check any requirements before heading out to an event so you’re prepared to meet those requirements, which could range from wearing masks to continuing social distancing.
And now, here’s a look at some of the upcoming events in the area:
