The South Rome Community Association is hosting its 2nd annual Collard Greens Festival on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the South Rome Community Garden, located at the corner of Pennington Avenue and West Main Street.

In addition to the collard green cook-off, which will pay out three cash prizes, the festival will also feature live musical performances throughout the day as well as arts and crafts, food trucks, and activities for kids.
