Music Midtown has historically been the highlight of the season but has played to mixed reviews in the past couple of years as they have sought a younger audience. DragonCon, A3C, Pride, Taste of Atlanta and a great Halloween festivals including the Little Five Points parade are must see events.

Winter Festivals

As the holiday season approaches, Winter festivals and events offer the chance for families and friends alike together and revel in the most wonderful time of the year.
