Things to Do! Places to Go!

What is there to do in Canton? I get asked this question numerous times in a day’s work.

It’s a valid question. What are the options for recreation after work, in the evening, on weekends or in general down time? Are there places to take the family for a night out or celebrate a special occasion?

My answer is, “Yes! There are places to celebrate, socialize, and wind down in Canton. There are many options to suit your preference, mood and budget.”

Let’s start with Canton Marketplace. Consisting of around 800,000 square feet, it features anchor establishments, such as Best Buy, Kohl’s, TJ Maxx, Olive Garden, Bed Bath & Beyond, Books-a-Million, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Kirkland’s, Lowe’s, Target, Off Broadway Shoes and Chipotle.

Riverstone Parkway, on the northern end of town, also offers choice dining and retail, in addition to a movie theater and a grocer. Belk, Ross, Payless Shoes, Provino’s, Outback Steakhouse, Zaxby’s, Longhorn Steakhouse, Red Lobster, O’Charleys, Applebee’s, Publix and Carmike Cinemas are only some of the choices available.

Historic Downtown Canton is a lively environment, with a mix of businesses that you will not find anywhere else. For dining and tasting, Goin’ Coastal, Downtown Kitchen, R&M Hoagie Shop, The Snug Gastropub, Cup Up and Stout’s Growlers are great options. For shopping, Chamberhouse, B. Loved, Rosie Posie, Junk Drunk Jones, Noni’s Attic, Southern Charm, Indigo & Oak and Key’s Jewelry offer unique items.

For recreation, we have parks and outdoor amenities all around the city. In fact, one exciting addition to our local parks system is the brand new Etowah River Park. Spanning a total of 81 acres, the new park includes three, full-size athletic fields, a walking trail, an amphitheater, a canoe launch and a foot bridge over the Etowah River.

Heritage Park, Boling Park, Brown Park and Cannon Park are good for jogging, walking, events and a host of other activities. The Hickory Log Creek Reservoir offers recreational fishing and provides excellent scenery of Canton’s natural beauty.

We have arts and entertainment venues, too. The Canton Theatre is our local performing arts theater and provider of live entertainment for over 90 years. Be sure to check out its website for upcoming shows and dates at CantonTheatre.com.

The Cherokee Arts Center hosts year-round activities for makers, buyers and admirers of art, in addition to also offering live performances. You can find out more about them at CherokeeArts.com.

The Cherokee County History Museum features a vast collection of fascinating information about Cherokee County’s past and the people and events that shaped our community. You can also visit their website at RockBarn.org/museum/

I cannot forget our local YMCA, Boys and Girls Club and the Georgia National Cemetery, which are also in town or nearby.

These are only some of the highlights of the venues and activities available here in Canton. There are more. However, the best way to discover what’s here is to venture out and explore for yourself. You are sure to find something, just for you.
