Architectural rendering of a mixed-use development with shops, restaurants and apartments surrounding a central plaza at dusk. — Medley’s Johns Creek development is set to open to the public Oct. 29, with a ribbon cutting in The Plaza and a three-day celebration that starts the night before.

Medley will celebrate its Johns Creek debut with three days of events Oct. 28–30, beginning with a ticketed restaurant preview and ending with a free Halloween party.

The $560 million, 43-acre development officially opens to the public Thursday, Oct. 29, with a 10 a.m. ribbon cutting in The Plaza. Toro Development Company announced the schedule Tuesday, along with the businesses expected to welcome visitors and plans for an outdoor ice rink in November.

Trader Joe’s is already open. Restaurants, shops and services joining it for the grand opening include Shake Shack, Rena’s Italian Fishery & Grill, Sephora, Five Daughters Bakery and Summit Coffee. More tenants will follow in the coming months.
