From March 4 through April 4, the Atlanta Fair will be at Turner Field, which also means that spring is almost here—woot! Sunshine! But I digress…

This weekend, October 31 & November 1, the 39th Annual Atlanta Pride Festival will take place at Piedmont Park. The event’s organizers couldn’t have picked a better weekend for it, especially for people-watching.
