Made in the Shade
The 6th Annual Grant Park Summer Shade Festival is coming this weekend August 30 & 31 (Saturday & Sunday).
Thought late notice I thought I would mention that the Festival commences Saturday morning Adams Realtors 5K RUN for the PARK (walkers are welcome).
The Festival Artist Market opens at 11:00 and runts until 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. There will be live music all day, ending at around 9PM. A unique portion of the festival is called Corks & Forks -" A Fine Food and Wine Event" and will be serving up food on Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Chefs from around Atlanta will serve specialty items to taste some of the wines and brews.
