It's that time of year, ladies and gentlemen. Atlanta seems to have skipped spring and jumped right into summer. So this weekend, I'm planning on popping some Claritin and heading out to some of the festivals Atlanta has going on.
Here are a couple that are definitely worth checking out:
Atlanta Dogwood Festival
Takes place in Piedmont Park, geared towards a 'family fun' atmosphere. Live music all weekend, an International Stage with everything from Indian dance to a German choir, and even a canine competition. My only concern--aren't dogwoods the trees that smell bad??
Sweetwater 420 Fest
If you're trying to hit both of these festivals this weekend, I strongly advise that you leave Sweetwater Fest for your last stop. It's happening in Candler Park and the organizers are trying to encourage 'green transportation' so they're offering bike valets--I'm interested to see how this works out, considering wristbands for Sweetwater consumption are $5 for the day. I'm pretty sure there's a bicycle version of a DUI, so bikers beware--and please, for god's sake, leave your spandex bike shorts at home. Featuring live music, 'green' art, food and of course, beer, this self-purported "earth lovers" event sounds like a fun and relaxing way to spend the weekend with friends (just remember not to throw away anything remotely recyclable, that's just asking for it with this crowd)!
Hope to see you there!
