1890's DAYS JAMBOREE, (Ringgold, GA)…read more I am a self-confessed "festival freak" and I always like to attend the small town ones during the holidays and on weekends. When it comes to small towns, the activities are always family friendly and I have never encountered public drunkenness, coarse/foul language, unreasonable lines, lewd behavior or a shortage of food. For the well planned festival, I always have a very good time and we always encounter the nicest people who are always up for a friendly chat. Festivals have something for everyone: food, music, dancing, a play area for the kids, classic cars and of course an array of vendors. I like the festivals that are north of Alpharetta and at least an hour away because the drives are always peaceful and beautiful. After planning my weekend activities, I needed an activity for Saturday and this one fit the bill. We have actually visited the town of Ringgold but only explored its history and Civil War connection. I was excited to go back, to visit the local merchants and attend their annual festival now in its 40th year. I enjoy being able to actively join in the fun, singing along dancing and making merriment. Yes, I love to whoop it up. If you are lucky, you will also get to attend a parade as we did today. This was a small town parade that featured little kids riding their tractors or little convertibles, and hustling candy on the side. I loved this parade because we were not required to be positioned on the sidewalks and could actually reach out and touch parade participants if we wanted to. This made the experience more personal and I really enjoyed being able to say thank you directly to the vets who participated in the parade. Even though Ringgold is a small town, residents and sponsors did a great job of organizing this festival because they had several stages featuring different performances such as just music, dance and contests. Even the outdoor stages had chairs provided. You had a nice choice and one of the venues was in the historical depot where you could actually cool off. The town is small enough that you could park at one end and easily walk to each venue. They were even smart enough to place the business/service vendors on a side street so it kept things all about the festival and did not disrupt the flow of energy. The people attending and working the festival were super friendly and I love just chatting up the vendors and those showing their classic cars. One of my favorites was Rodney S. who had purchased a '55 Chevy wagon and restored it with his brother, (over three winters, because he has to bale hay in the summer). I was just amazed at the quality of work that went into this vehicle both under the hood, and in the interior. Neither of them have professional skills in restoration and they did not use a professional garage to complete the work. All of the work, (stripping, fabricating and painting), was done in the brother's garage. What a beauty! Please check out the photos of the yellow wagon. The classic cars were all just beautiful and I especially love the trucks and tractors. The lady saw me really admiring the classic tractor up for raffle and asked me if I wanted to take a photo. Before she could even finish, I had climbed into the seat of that tractor (dress and all), and directed my husband to take various shots. It was awesome! There were several food vendors and I appreciated seeing unique choices such as gator on a stick and healthy options like the grilled chicken on a stick. Unfortunately, we did not get to sample any of the food because we had eaten a solid breakfast and decided that we wanted to sit down in a cool restaurant for lunch. I would definitely recommend this festival for good clean, family fun and just for anyone who enjoys a nice relaxing time, with great music and good people. There is still time to enjoy this festival because it goes on until 10 pm tonight.

This was my first visit to the market and I believe there were about 10-12 vendors…read more I was able to take home about a week's worth of grocery items and I was incredibly happy with the majority of it. The only thing I didn't like was the baked goods. I purchased a sourdough. It had caraway which is similar to rye and I do not like rye. I did however like the croissants I purchased but on the flip side the five cookies were meh. So more was bad than good. The other vendors I purchased from were wonderful. Eggs, bone-in pork chops, ground beef , dog treats (chicken claws) three types of greens, arugula, Bibb and romaine, and a frozen chicken were some of the things I purchased. I did notice only one vendor had fruit, strawberries, which sold out quickly. The next time I go I hope there is more to choose from. I will definitely return.

We got to see some outstanding acts this year (Friday, 2026) like The Strokes. Food and drink can get really expensive. Which is to be expected. My friends and I frequented the $5 mystery beer tent, which was often not beer, but tallboys of wine. Food could get pricey, but we were only there for one day, so we balled out. If you're there for the whole weekend and camping, you can bring plenty of your own food to help alleviate this cost. This was my second time going, first since 2019, and the magic was still there. It's kinda comforting to see people letting it all hang out. The kids are gonna be alright, I think. Weather seems to be a recurring issue for the festival. It was beautiful but a bit muddy the day we were there. I heard there were some rain delays and even more mud later on in the weekend. Some of this is par for the course. I do think they would be wise to pick a different time of year.

It's also conveniently right off the crosswalk from the Inman Park MARTA station - don't bother looking for parking as there is very little. You can also walk to the festival using the Beltline.

Make sure to bring plenty of filtered water or stick with beer. This is a must-attend show.

Since the 1970's, The Inman Park Festival is something of an Atlanta tradition. There's a tour of homes, a 5k run, a parade, and (of course) a big street market featuring all sorts of colorful, local arts and crafts, beauty & skin care, foods and spices, home accessories, woodworking and ceramics... This year, I picked up a few items to gift to my friends. There are hosts of things to try and do, including activities for kids, and a really cool Dance Festival where you'll see stellar dance expositions from Atlanta's best dance companies. The food scene is pretty much what you'd expect. All the standard offerings from frozen lemonade to corn dogs, funnel cakes to pretzels, all the "regulars" are there. Sometimes I wonder if there will ever be a way to make the street-fair food scene innovative and not just regular. Still, this is among Atlanta's best run, and well-organized Festivals. See you there next year.

We parked next door at the gas station and walked to the park. There was no parking fee or entrance fee. We made it there about 9 and there were about 5 vendors and many tables to sit and enjoy your food. There was also music playing. Slutty vegan seemed to be the only vendor with a line. When I'm talking line, I'm talking L-I-N-E!!!! As we were waiting, we ended up getting a spiked lemonade from one of the vendors and it wasn't spiked much.

I finally made it out to the Atlanta Food Truck Park last night despite living just around the…read morecorner. I had a great time and am really glad to see this place open in my neighborhood. Atlanta is better off for having food trucks (and this park, specifically). Despite the cloudy, on-and-off drizzly weather, the park had a good turnout of patrons between 7-9pm on a Thursday night. Thanks to those who braved the elements for our UYE (http://www.yelp.com/events/atlanta-atlanta-food-truck-park-uye). The food truck/food stand lineup was pretty good: Sweet Auburn BBQ Corn-a-Cue One Love Jerk Grill Metro City Dogs Lemonade Stand WOW! Food Truck Ibiza Bites Chay J's New Orleans Candies Rouxd Food Truck King of Pops Yum Yum Cupcake Verizon also had a stand. I've been following the park's official calendar (http://www.atlantafoodtruckpark.com/calendar/) over the past month and noticed Thursday nights are the ideal weeknight (excluding Fridays) to go for the most trucks and the best selection. I suspect there might have been more trucks last night if it wasn't for the weather. I ended up trying a little bit of everything: Arepas (Venezuelan sliders) from WOW! Food Truck Beef brisket with Asian pear slaw taco from Sweet Auburn BBQ Goat cheese-stuffed fried green tomatoes from Ibiza Bites Creole pretzels and Creole popcorn from Chay J's I'll be posting reviews for each of those trucks in the next few days. If you come for dinner, I recommend coming on the early side as the food trucks only have a limited supply of items and do sell out. This leads some trucks to close early. I saw many menus with marked off items that had sold out for the day. Yum Yum Cupcakes shut down early because they sold out of their cupcakes for the day. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much seating the park had. I counted 16 large picnic tables in the main "dining" area, most with umbrellas. Each picnic table can seat up to about 8 people each. The picnic tables are located on a flat, paved surface. The food trucks are located in a large gravel lot. This lot has 4 communal standing tables and 2 additional picnic tables. So overall, this spot has quite a bit of seating, which is convenient. Also, plenty of trash cans and recycling bins to keep the grounds looking relatively clean. The park is family and dog-friendly. It can be a little loud because you're around all these big trucks and next to busy Howell Mill Rd. You can BYOB, so save money by bringing your own drinks. If you want water, I saw some trucks selling it for $1 per bottle. There is one restroom and it's a "Johnny on the Spot" porta-potty in the parking lot with portable sink outside so you can wash your hands. There is ample free parking behind the park. Turn onto Emery St, next to the Shell Station on Howell Mill, to find it. If you need more detailed directions, check out the park's FAQ here: http://www.atlantafoodtruckpark.com/faqs/. The parking lot is old and filled with pot holes, so drive carefully. I saw someone puncture their car's tire by running over a broken-off metal sign post on the ground (she was trying to make too tight of a turn around the dining area). Note that every Wednesday and Friday night throughout the summer, the park will be playing movies for free. Also, from time to time, there is live music. On the weekends, there's a food market with rotating vendors and an artists market coming soon. Overall, I'm very happy with the Atlanta Food Truck Park and definitely plan on returning.

They go out of their way to make this establishment stand out and feel so homely. This is definitely my family's favorite place to go for dinner or even lunch when we are in the mood for delicious, fresh and fast Mexican food. Everything they serve is freshly made or prepared right in front of you. They have buzzers for guests if the line gets long so you know when to come pick up your order. You can dine in one of 3 different areas; 2 inside or the patio outside. They also have the option of fountain drinks ( with free refills) or can/bottled drinks ( some imported). I can't say enough good things about this place, i really love their taco salads and corn ( you can order it on the cob or in the cup). They are also careful of the spice level and will customize it to whatever you like. They have alot of items on the menu i may eventually try them all.

Food came out pretty quickly, but as soon as we ordered it got pretty busy so I am glad we arrived when we did. The only thing I didn't like was the CMT Music Videos blasting throughout. Seemed like the wrong type of vibe for that place if you know what I mean. Anywho, I wouldn't drive back the 30 minutes to eat there, but I wouldn't drive certainly stop by if in the area.
