Celebrate Together

Throughout the year, the City and various non-profit organizations — many of which offered residents similar government services before incorporation and pre-date incorporation — will host events and ways to celebrate together. These celebrations are more than just festivities — they’re a reflection of what makes Sandy Springs special: a connected, engaged community that continues to shape its future with purpose and pride.

Share Your Favorite Memories

Join in the celebration by sharing favorite Sandy Springs memories, photos and videos over the last 20+ years. Select submissions will be featured throughout the year on social media and in our newsletter The Scoop

Limited-Edition Logo 

To celebrate this special occasion, the City has unveiled a limited-edition commemorative logo. Residents can show their community pride by purchasing exclusive items featuring the logo, including stickers, magnets, and mugs. These items will be available throughout the year at CityBar & Café and during various Signature Events. Proceeds benefit the Sandy Springs Foundation

Town Turtles

Creatively painted turtles are a staple of Sandy Springs, serving as a means of fundraising in early efforts to incorporate and now proudly displayed at various locations around the City for the community to enjoy. In celebration of the 20th anniversary, Art Sandy Springs and the Sandy Springs Society have partnered to bring several town turtles to City Green now through September. 

Children's Gallery

In addition to the sculptures outside, a collection of children’s artwork will be displayed in the Gallery at City Springs depicting their vision of what Sandy Springs will look like in the next 20 years. A delightful exhibit bridging the past, present and future, these exhibitions will be highlighted during a gallery reception open to the public on Thursday, July 10 from 6-8 p.m.

Special Archive Exhibit

Discover the story of the City of Sandy Springs’ journey to self-governance at the opening of a special exhibit in City Hall. From July through the end of the year, the display will feature a unique collection of artifacts, documents, and memorabilia honoring the decades-long effort of residents to gain local control. At the heart of the exhibit is Sandy Springs founding Mayor Eva Galambos, whose leadership ultimately lead to the City’s incorporation. From grassroots movements to historic milestones, each piece reflects the spirit of activism, determination, resilience, and civic pride that built the community.
