Cornelia is making final preparations for its second annual “Catch Me In Cornelia” Summer Nights Festival. The festival is actually a series of four monthly events held on the last Thursday of each month through the summer.

Main Street Manager Noah Hamil said that with the success of last year’s events, “it was a no-brainer to bring them back!”

The first festival is set for this evening, May 25, from 5 to 9 p.m. in downtown Cornelia.

There will be live entertainment, arts and craft vendors, and kids’ activities. Guests are invited to bring their pets and sip-n-stroll through Cornelia’s entertainment district. Shops will stay open late.
