Atlanta International Night Market & Glow in the Park Returns to Suwanee this Weekend!
The Atlanta International Night Market & Glow in the Park returns this Friday and Saturday, April 17–18, bringing one of the community’s most anticipated events of the year to Town Center Park.
This annual festival celebrates all kinds of different cultures in an exciting way, inviting all to enjoy two days together in the park. Live performances will take place throughout both days on the Amphitheatre Stage, creating an energetic backdrop for the festivities.
Attendees can explore a wide selection of international food vendors and Town Center merchants, then relax on the lawn while enjoying the entertainment. Participating vendors will offer unique, handcrafted goods, while children’s activities and games provide additional fun for families.
To support a smooth experience, guests are encouraged to review the parking and shuttle map in advance. This service will be available both days from Gwinnett Church and Shawnee North Business Center. Additional parking will be available on Saturday at Shadowbrook Church.
On Saturday evening, the Glow in the Park Lantern Parade will begin at 8:15 PM, serving as a highlight of the weekend and a memorable moment for kids to put their own handmade or purchased lanterns on display.
This event offers an opportunity to celebrate community, culture, and connection. We hope to see you there!
Suwanee Arts Center’s Youth Council Brings
New Mural to Town Center on Main
The Suwanee Arts Center established a Youth Arts Council earlier this year! This group of local students aim to empower young artists to connect, create, and inspire. As part of that mission, the group recently undertook a project at Town Center on Main to paint a mural on the wall of the pedestrian bridge.
Right before the Suwanee Arts Festival, the Youth Arts Council successfully brought their vision to life for the community to enjoy whenever visiting the park or the Suwanee Branch of the Gwinnett Public Library. The design compliments the neighboring mural, Bookshelf by Pat Perry, and serves as a color addition to the reading grotto space. Head over to Town Center on Main to see the mural in person!
Get Ready for the High Line Criterium
The High Line Criterium returns on May 2, bringing fast-paced racing and a fun community atmosphere to Town Center on Main. As part of the USA CRITS series, the event features elite cyclists from around the world competing in a high-speed, multi-lap race through a closed circuit course.
A criterium, or “crit,” is a short-loop cycling race where riders complete multiple laps at high speeds, navigating tight turns and sprinting for position. This format makes it especially exciting for spectators, as the action passes by frequently and keeps the energy high throughout the event.
Beyond the racing, the High Line Criterium offers a full community experience. Food trucks and signature drinks will be available at Suwanee Circle, while inflatables in the park provide family-friendly fun for children. The evening will conclude with an after-party at StillFire, offering a chance to continue the celebration.
The High Line Criterium is more than a race, it is an opportunity for the community to come together and enjoy an evening of entertainment, connection, and excitement.
