Norcross Art Splash 2022
Norcross Art Splash will be back on our downtown streets Oct 1 - 2 and, because it takes a village, we need our favorite villagers to make it happen! We have so many new Norcross neighbors who haven’t had the experience of this annual tradition, one of our favorite events for neighbor camaraderie. It takes almost 200 student and adult volunteers to seamlessly pull off this great 2-day event so grab your neighbors, friends, relatives and high schoolers needing service hours and click here to view the opportunities.
All volunteers get a t-shirt and chances to win $25 Artist Market Bucks. Volunteers ages 16-17 please use the "Student" tabs only. Contact Volunteer Coordinator Tanya Moore with any questions.

Meet Your Neighbors
Meet the Diehls! Bill and Kassie have two kids: Eleanor age 5 and Bennett age 3! They moved to Norcross in 2020 to the little blue house on Lively street. Venture down the side street and say hello! Bill is a lawyer in the area and Kassie recently quit her job at Make-A-Wish to find her next passion! You’ll find Bill running around Norcross training for his first marathon and Kassie pushing the double stroller to all the playgrounds as she serves on the parks, greenspaces and trails board for Norcross. They love hiking, traveling, reading and grabbing a drink in Norcross!
