We are honored to have Commissioner Marvin S. Arrington as the Presenter of Harvest Day. A champion for education, community uplift, and opportunity, Commissioner Arrington will open the event with warm remarks, encouraging neighbors to engage, connect, and celebrate the bounty of the season.

Why his presence matters:

• As Fulton County Commissioner for District 5, he consistently advocates for education, community empowerment, and resource access.
• He supports strategic investment in arts, youth programs, and engaging community spaces (recently he helped secure nearly $2M in arts funding for Fulton County.
• He knows that when neighborhoods grow stronger through knowledge, food access, and local pride, lives are enriched.

In his welcome, Commissioner Arrington will invite all attendees to enjoy the fall harvest, support local agriculture, and taste what the chefs of Atlanta Culinary Creations have prepared using the very produce grown right there on the farm.

Atlanta Culinary Creations brings the flavors of farm-fresh produce to life. With a passion for seasonal cuisine and local sourcing, the chefs will show you how to transform fall vegetables into culinary delights.

What to expect:

• Live cooking demonstrations using produce grown right there at aGROWKulture Urban Farm.
• Tasting stations so you can sample each dish.
• Food inspiration to try at home — learn new ways to enjoy greens, root vegetables, herbs, and more.
• Friendly, approachable chefs who’ll answer questions about flavor, technique, and nutrition.

Let your taste buds dance and your mind be inspired!
