It’s that time of year again: Get your green on & head to Underground Atlanta for the St. Patrick’s Day Festival, which runs from noon-6:00 p.m. on March 13. Not that I believe the 6:00 p.m. end time…we’re talking about Underground Atlanta after all. It’s just the end of the family-friendly portion of the festivities.

The parade starts at the intersection of Peachtree St. & Ralph McGill Boulevard. [...]

I am beyond bummed that I’m going to miss this year’s East Atlanta Strut, which will take place on September 19. For those of you who can go, you should check it out.
There’s an Artists’ Market and plenty of live music to help you keep your feet moving as you browse. And when I say [...]

I’ve yet to make it downtown for the Dragon*Con parade, but this may be the year. I know my kids will get a kick out of it. Shoot, they love the high school homecoming parade that marches through our neighborhood each fall. Add in costumed characters of all sorts, and they’ll be in awe.
The parade [...]

It’s the last full weekend in April, which means that it’s time for the Inman Park Festival. Often described as “spirited” and “eclectic,” it’s worth checking out for the parade alone, which is led by the Inman Park Butterfly & kicks off at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday. Of course, there’s other fun stuff to do, [...]

I, for one, cannot believe it’s almost St. Patrick’s Day. Didn’t 2009 just arrive? Sheesh. Where does the time go?
On Saturday, March 14, don’t miss the St. Patrick’s Day Festival in Underground Atlanta, which runs from noon-6:00 p.m. Not that I believe the 6:00 p.m. end time…we’re talking about Underground Atlanta after all.
