I had heard about this event from the earlier event locations - this is a "pop-up" style market…read morethat moves around Atlanta, typically over a holiday weekend. On this occasion, it was the Memorial Day weekend on 2018.10.5 - 2018.10.07 and the market took place at the North Point Mall at 1000 North Point Cir, Alpharetta, GA 30022, along the side facing the JC Penny's anchor store. This is an outdoor vendor-oriented market featuring imported goods and a huge assortment of food. In Asia markets like these are done at night to escape the heat of the day - typically they go on pretty much all night but of course this US market is a bit more pragmatic. I met a friend after work on the first night (Friday) right when it opened, about 5:00 PM. The market was just getting started so some of the food vendors weren't quite ready and some tents were unoccupied, but this was remedied by the time we left. Admission was $10 but could have been less if we'd bought online prior to the event day - we decided to just pay at the gate. Oh and most of these vendors were cash only so keep that in mind - there are several ATMs but you get to pay those fees. I'd say that the "International" aspect was very well represented by a super diverse assortment of vendors and a crowd to to match. There were the typical saree and handbag sellers plus one booth that had leather jackets. I saw many, many different ethnic groups from all over the world - lots of fun to be had. There's also a stage with music that continued for most of the night with some live local acts and a DJ spinning a broad-time-spanning assortment of well-mixed dance music. But of course the real reason I attended was to sample the food. The food ranged from near-local to far reaching Asian - there were at least two different Lao vendors, Snackboxe Bistro and a Thai/Viet/Lao vendor that served Pad Thai, Papaya Salad and skewers of meat. There were also several Indian vendors including the nearby Dekkan Spice (very good) so a good mix of local restaurants, caterers and food trucks. I saw a couple of Halal places including a whole BBQ goat. We settled on a mix of Thai and Island cuisines, the latter being a veggie and noodle stirfry with teriyaki chicken. I thought both were quite good and less than $10. The Hawaiian rotisserie looked amazing but wasn't quite ready or I def would have gotten the pork ribs or turkey leg. There was also a vegan section with many restaurants within if what I described above scared you. I think there was plenty to sample something unusual and come away full. There were many drink vendors selling lassies and other cold drinks including many fruity drinks. I only saw one beer vendor but it was large and well placed sith several local craft brews - I ended up with a Creature Comforts Tropicalia IPA but also say a Three Taverns sour and a Steady Hand Farmhouse Ale (Saisson) as options. Overall I liked the event but coudn't stay much more than the hour or so (commitments elsewhere) but did have fun while there. The people serving were really nice and accommodating and good about answering questions. It was starting to get crowded so that was my queue to get out anyway - I don't deal with the jostle of the crowds - when my beer gets bumped it's time to leave!

My family and I have been coming to the this festival for over 10 years now. So it's a tradition for us. This festival has been voted one of the top arts and craft shows in the nation. There's always music playing from bandsl One of my favorite booths to go to is the Bubba's Sweet Tea, I bought a tin mug years ago and bring it back every year for a refill of sweet tea for only a dollar. There's plenty booths that sell food and snacks. There's lots of things to see, unique crafts, scented handmade candles, handmade soaps wood crafts, etc. I've made friends with a few of the vendors, we may not remember each other's names but we definitely recognize each other from year to year. It's four days of wonderful fun, rain or shine it's going on. One of my favorite times is when it rained cats and dogs, it did not stop the fun one bit. There's plenty of well organized parking all over the park. Lots of police officers directing traffic. I feel very safe even though there's huge crowds of people everywhere. There are free shuttle busses transporting people to their cars the entire time. There's live music too! You can come here and load up on kettle popcorn, Greek gyros, ice cream and gifts for everyone! I can't wait til next year's festival.

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!

There were delicious foods and booths that recognized Korean small businesses and restaurants in the city. We got the lamb kebab and cotton candy for our kids and they both were enjoyed though we felt the cotton candy priced at $5 was a bit high. It was nice to be in the midst of fellow Korean Americans and seeing people from all cultures come to recognize Korean culture and the positive contributions the Korean community has bestowed on Atlanta. Price per ticket is $10 and food ranged from $5 and up. There were performances inside the building and a few outside as well. We got there a little later in the day after the festivities had started so we missed the raffle and some of the outdoor performances. Parking can fill up pretty quickly but it was nice to see Victory church of Atlanta allow patrons of the festival to park in their lot which is where we parked. 4 solid stars for the Atlanta Korean Festival and a high five to the organizers who put on this gathering every year. Dae han mingook!

I attended the 4th Annual Atlanta Koreal Festival at Suwanee Town Center Park this past weekend and…read morehad a good time. There isn't much information available online about this event, especially in English. The only reason I found out this event even existed is because of Angela H's event posting here on Yelp (http://www.yelp.com/events/suwanee-4th-annual-korean-festival-october-20-21-2012). If you're into or have an appreciation for Korean or just Asian culture in general, the Korean Festival is definitely worth checking out at least once. The venue (Suwanee Town Center Park) is nice and the event is very family and pet-friendly. Suwanee Town Center is a nice little outdoor mall with park, playground, and fountain. Suwanee City Hall is also located here. The park is big and clean and there's a stage in the center where all of the festival's performances are held. I went on Saturday afternoon and quite a bit of people showed up. It was busy, but not packed or outrageous. It was a good, manageable crowd size and there were hardly any lines. Several tents were set up around the park. My favorite and the most popular tents were the "food court" tents. A variety of restaurants and vendors sold food and drinks here including sundae (Korean blood sausage) and odeng (Korean fish cake on a stick). There were also several outdoor grills where chefs were making galbi (Korean BBQ short ribs) in large quantities. The smoky smell of the cooked meat was absolutely mouth-watering. I tried the sundae and the odeng. IIRC, prices were $6 (or was it $8? cash only) for each. Both were delicious. The sundae was sliced on the spot by an old Korean lady. The staff recommended I season the sundae with the pre-packaged salt packets, but I think I overseaoned it. You should try it first without seasoning. The odeng was great. One order came with three sticks of fish cake in a large Styrofoam cupful of steaming broth. The portions were big and the fish cake was savory. I also tried some of the $3.50 iced coffee from Kopiara, presumably a Korean coffee roasting company. It was very good and refreshing for an afternoon outdoors. Other tents around the park included an assortment of vendors such as Morning Glory, Mega Mart, White Windmill Bakery and Cafe, and H Mart. H Mart was handing out coupon books. There was even one tent that was playing the Gangnam Style music video non-stop and selling t-shirts that said: "Keep Calm and Gangnam Style." I wonder how many t-shirts they sold. I also wonder if the trio manning that booth went insane from listening to Gangnam Style all day. Center stage played host to many performances including traditional Korean dancing, taekwondo exhibitions, samul nori (traditional Korean drum performance), singing and K-pop performances, and more. Everything was surprisingly entertaining to watch (I typically get bored with some of these performances). My favorite were the K-pop covers performed by different musicians from males to females. Some bands were complete with guitar, keyboard, and/or choreographed dancing. The day was capped off by two or three renditions of Gangnam Style, to which the entire audience in the park danced along, from little kids to the elderly. It was like a Gangnam Style flashmob! The weather was beautiful, which really increased everyone's enjoyment of the festival. Parking was a little hard to come by, but you *should* be able to find a spot. Parking was free and there were several lots located in and around Suwanee Town Center. Just be sure to obey all the signs.

The dancers themselves were adorned in their tribal garb and the drums sang out wonderfully. You could feel the ancestors with us. There were presentations of Indian life and culture.

I had been a few years ago and maybe my memory sucks (this is actually very probable) but I don't remember the food lines and seating being so well done. Though the line was long, in no time, I was at the ordering station, where everyone had iPads with the square to allow credit/debit card payment. I have to give it to Apple for making this payment method so accessible to businesses that in the past could not afford the machines. I got the Beef Kapama Plate (beef tips simmered in wine and spices), which was seriously incredible. The temperature of the food, which was served in a styrofoam box and already packaged when I ordered it, was perfect. It was bordering on hot, which I did not expect. My festival companion ordered the Souvlaki Plate and experienced a similar nirvana when he tried his food. Both of our plates were served with rice pilaf, Greek-style green beans, spanakopita, and a roll. Everything was very good, including the roll (which totally surprised me, as I expected it to be one of those school-lunch bread rolls). We dined under the tent, which was a welcome respite from the warm sun that was peeking out from behind the storm clouds from earlier that morning. I don't know much about Greek music and saw that some people found it to be boring, but having it in the background as I devoured my lunch really added to my experience. Did I mention that the bottled water was of the Samaria brand, from the Greek island of Crete. Uh, totally cool. I didn't get anything from the vendors, though I ended up wandering over to the dessert/pastry section, where I looked at the marketplace goods (these included olive oil, pasta, cheese, spices, etc.) and ended up buying amigdalota (almond crescent cookies topped with slivered almonds - very reminiscent of Italian amaretti), galaktobouriko (creamy custard between buttered phyllo dough layers), and melomacarona (spice cookie with orange juice and olive oil). I really liked the first two, especially since I grew up in the Northeast and have an affinity for Italian-American cookies and pastries. The melomacarona tasted like it was well-made but it was a bit too sweet for me. I skipped on the baklava, as Greek baklava (that I've tried) is usually of the walnut variety and I prefer the kinds made with pistachios and/or almonds (more typical of the Persian and Turkish). Leaving the festival, I had to get the loukoumades, even though my stomach was on the verge of exploding. Who cares. These things are so good, they warrant any kind of sacrifice you can make. And the ones I got from this festival were excellent. Fried Greek doughnut holes covered in honey and cinnamon, there is absolutely nothing for me to hate. I recognize that this may not appeal to all palates, as it is deep-fried and quite sweet, but anything sweetened with honey just makes all of my insides smile. If I have the time, I will most likely gorge myself again next year at the next Atlanta Greek Festival.

I worried about our seats because we were only 3 rows from the front, and I get migraines if I'm too close, typically opting for the very back row... but since the chairs reclined, I was actually okay! My chicken tenders were hot and crispy and really hit the spot, along with the fries. I loved the mango habanero dipping sauce I chose as well.
