Bestowed the trophy for the "Best New Event of 2010" by the Southeast Festivals and Events Association, Dunwoody Art Festival continues to attract the top artisans from across the country. Along with the partnership of the Dunwoody Crier, incredible community volunteers and the Dunwoody Rotary Club, Dunwoody Art Festival is a must-see! A fun-filled Kidz Zone will await youngsters with great rides, sand art, imaginative crafts and games. A relaxing stage with continuous live music will be located in the new food court and will join Village Burger and other great eats from neighborhood restaurants. Sit down and relax before setting out again in search for that "gotta have it" piece of art. There truly is something for everyone at Dunwoody Art Festival!

They seem to run about every 15 minutes, so it is easy to be picked up and dropped off. Like the majority of all festivals in Atlanta, this one sells the typical candles, wood work, paintings, clothing, etc. We discovered a few vendors selling unique metal work that we have not seen at the other festivals. This is a smaller festival, but still fun for the family. They have about 100 or so vendors. [Review #378] (24th Review of 2016)

And it just did not disappoint. The food was amazing. I was so stuffed by the time I left I had to just sit in my car and let it digest. I like that they have lots of tall tables for people to stand it and eat their food. There are also some seats that were closer up towards where the band was playing so it didn't feel too crowded and you didn't have anywhere to go. There were lots of different food choices. Sometimes when you go to these festivals there are more alcohol tents then food and that was not the case at this particular event. I love that there were so many food places to choose from and you were not over powered by the amount of alcohol tents. I will definitely go to this event again next year!

ROSWELL ARTS IN THE PARK…read more Arts in the park is an annual event that takes place in September. It is held at Town Center in Roswell. Although I have attended other art event, (Mother's Day weekend), at this location, I somehow expected this event to be different but it wasn't. This venue is so small and so crowded, that there was simply not enough room for me to even take out my wallet. We lasted about 20 minutes before it just got to be too much. This is probably the perfect venue for someone who just wants to go in, purchase a piece of art and go home. I like to tend events to actually purchase, jewelry, home decor and clothing items and so I tend to frequent very large festivals that involves the entire town, (Moonshine, Duluth Fall Festival, Gold Rush). I love having tons of artists using various mediums and I really like being able to find interesting and unique foods to eat. With the larger events, we enjoy spending the entire day listening to music and watching performers. After 49 years, I would think that this event would be much bigger and have a more suitable space. Although we did not make a purchase today, we can say that there were some beautiful displays of art: phenomenal water colors, pottery, hand carved items, and so much more. I really felt that the vendors are at a disadvantage when they are crowded into such tight quarters because some people just need space, (physical and mental) to shop. I know I do! The great news is that you don't have to fight with parking. Simply park at City Hall and ride the festival shuttle. The drivers are always on time and very polite.

My husband is quite the car enthusiast and always tries to drag me to local car shows on the…read moreweekends, but truth be told, I usually end up enjoying my time looking at the cars! I definitely don't make it as long as he does, but I can appreciate a nice car, especially the classic/vintage ones. I'm always drawn straight to those, whereas my husband prefers to check out the new sports/muscle cars. They put these on monthly at local spots OTP, and I believe there's also a Facebook group of some sort. Definitely recommend checking out a show if you have any interest in cars or the car world. Super casual and people bring their dogs/children along too.

Online description is ACCURATE. Being called the largest month car show, I still didn't expect how…read moremany cars would be there. This is located in the parking lot of the perimeter mall, with 3 main car show parking sections, and the rest of the parking lot mostly filled by people who also have nice cars (or at least think they do). It is MASSIVE. I took off one star because we went for the Jeep show, and upon arrival walked around for a long time, finding 2 old jeeps in total, while the advertisement for this specific week showed an old jeep that wasn't even there. There were plenty of cars, but it wasn't exactly what we expected, seeing how they advertised it as a classic Jeep Show and there was barely 2 classics on site. While they did have plenty of new Jeep, I didn't show up to see all the rich guys who just bought jeeps and spent a ton of money on lifting them and buying big tires (most of them didn't even bother for a car wash before entering the show). I came to see classic jeeps that a family may have had for over 50 years, or a Jeep fanatic restoration, which just wasn't there. As for the caffeine part of this, there were some booths that had Dunkin' Donuts coffee travelers provided, but not all, and only one espresso trailer which provided both hot and cold beverages. Hard to call it caffeine and octane when there isn't very much caffeine, one star taken for that as well. This all happens early in the morning before the mall opens, so they proved both porta potties and food trucks, so if you're heading it you don't have to be too worried about that. My final comment is : there are tons of entrances to this mall, but for some reason they blocked off every single exit (I can't imagine more of a safety hazard) forcing people to drive all the way around the mall in one long line to get out at one exit. Some people moved the barriers and just began exiting elsewhere and I can't blame them, I will not understand why they would block people in.

Careful, it gets VERY hot on a June day in Atlanta. I recommend coming in the morning if you're afraid of it getting super hot. My friends and I had tents selling crafts here and it can get miserable so make sure you bring lots of water. This festival had crafts on the far right end of the street with soaps, art, carvings, and all kinds of things. THere are some local businesses of course handing out info and free giveaways such as chiropractic, roof cleaning, and other services. I thought the free food giveaways were a bomb. There was a local peach stand which was awesome, free bags of local organic quinoa chips, and other fun give aways. The local P'tree corners stand will hand out tote bags, I love P'tree corner banners,and free hand paddle fans which you definitely need. There is a giant guy about 7'2 walking around in a peach costume and another guy on stilts as a tree so make sure you see those two. There is live music and I honestly thought for a small festival, the entertainment was VERY good. GOod voices and very good talent. Definitely worth listening to and crucial to keeping everyone happy in such a warm day. Check out the stands that have hot dogs and funnel cakes! There are portable bathrooms at the end and there are cars at the end with some fancy car show going on for car enthusiasts!

FESTIVAL TIME, (Peachtree Corners)…read more I attended this festival a couple of years ago with my family and we all had a very nice time. The parking is great and there are shuttle carts that take you from your car to the venue or you can easily walk. It was a hot day and we were lucky enough to have the mayor as our driver. The festival is great for families because they have activities for everyone. The little ones will love the bounce house, face painting and other activities, everyone will enjoy wandering from table to table checking out the arts and crafts and who doesn't LOVE classic cars! It is just the perfect opportunity to get out, listen to live music, get some fresh air and just meet people. This year the festival will be marked by a pre-festival concert on Friday night, (June 12th) and the actual festival begins on Sat at 10am and continues until Sunday evening. Clear your calendar and save the date!

It was a beautiful, perfectly sunny warm October day for the festival, so that scores high just…read morefrom an experience standpoint, but there are a few positives and negatives to this festival worth noting for future attendees. Parking in the daily area at the Brookhaven Marta Station is permissible and free and easy, but expect a 15 min walk to the festival entrance. Seriously, it is a HIKE up Apple Valley just to get there. Tickets are reasonably priced: $5 if you paid in advance, $10 at the door and this entitles you to a wristband to prove that you are a paying attendee and you get a spoon for all of the little sample cups of chili you would like to try. You can enter the festival without paying and if you are not really a chili person, but are attending with others who will be more likely to get their money's worth, I say, don't pay and just walk in and explore. The festival has very LONG hours - from 11 am to 7 pm, so one would expect that you could go most anytime in the afternoon and be able to try a variety of the chili cookoff entries, but nope, almost everything was completely gone by 1:30 or 2 pm, so go early! Beer lines were very long early in the day, perhaps as many as 40 people in line, so that was a slow process. These did clear up later and the price for a 16 oz beer was fair at $5. There were 3 live bands who performed and the caliber of music was good, so an enjoyable backdrop to the festival. Overall, a fun fall event for a short while if you are in the area, or really like chili!

For just $5 you got unlimited tastings of restaurant and home-prepared chilis, and after three trips through the various lines I definitely feel I got my money's worth. They plan on having more eating areas set up in the shade for next year and trying to expand to offer more things to do before and after the chili tasting hours, but there was a good turnout for a first time event, especially considering it was competing against Music Midtown. I do plan on coming back next year!
