The Inman Park Festival

April 24, 2009

Actually, the Inman Park Festival is one of (if not the) best Atlanta in-town neighborhood festivals. The only real negative is that everyone knows this and drives from the burbs down to Inman Park to pack the streets like sardines. So,take Marta if you decide to go. There is no where to park - I am serious. No where. So, this is why I selfishly try to limit attendance. But you really should experience this festival. It has the most unique and diverse compilation of artists (musicians, potters, sculptures, painters, photographers, dancers, balloon-makers, etc…) than most of the other Atlanta festivals.

This year, you can check out the musicians playing bluegrass, Cajun, alternative rock, folk, or gypsy jazz - to name a few options. And who could miss the opportunity to sip on a cold beer while listening to G-Force - apparently a pre-teen rock sensation?

So, go buy yourself a hand-crafted all-recycled wood wine stopper and some cutting edge photography and let the kiddos play in the park. I think this year I will make myself have even more envy of the people who can afford to live in Inman Park by taking the famous Tour of Homes. Oh, and there is a parade - with human butterflies. I mean, what’s not to love?
