Activities for all ages include a face painter, caricature artist, and games. Spectators can also win door prizes such as Atlanta Braves tickets and a smokeless fire pit. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from the Choo Choo Express BBQ food truck and the Bitter Alibi.

The event takes place at Ruby Falls in the Bob White Car Park from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm. No tickets are required for admission, but those interested in visiting the cavern must purchase Cave Walk tickets in advance online at RubyFalls.com.
