The city of Hinesville is celebrating Georgia Cities Week through Sunday by participating in a variety of events throughout the week, including a special-themed Farmers Market Thursday.

Hosted by the Hinesville Downtown Development Authority from 4-7 p.m. in Bradwell Park, guests at the Georgia Cities Week Farmers Market can stroll through a display of city vehicles, including a fire truck, police car and city bus. Children can color crafts in the city tent, where participants can also pick up free tote bags or coozies while supplies last.

The city kicked off Georgia Cities Week on Saturday with a city-wide Great American Cleanup, put on by Keep Liberty Beautiful. Other events during the week include:
