20 Oct Fall is Here! Now What Should We Do?
Fall is finally here and Atlanta is all a buzz with events hitting our calendars over the next couple of months. Make note of a few of the upcoming fall events in and around the city. There is no shortage of fun things to do around Atlanta in October and November.
Taste of Atlanta
October 24th – 26th
3 days. 90 restaurants. 300 tastes. The legendary three-day food festival returns to Midtown at Tech Square. This year’s event takes festival-goers on a culinary adventure through the city’s many diverse neighborhoods by featuring the chefs and restaurants that give these communities their true personality and flavor. Food lovers of all ages are invited to join Taste of Atlanta this October in celebrating the dynamic energy and variety of the local restaurant scene while savoring what makes the city the food capital of the South!
Chastain Park Arts Festival 2014

Named Best Self Magazine’s “Best Local Festival,” the Chastain Park Arts Festival will transform the park into an outdoor art gallery to the backdrop of vibrant fall hues.

Chomp and Stomp
November 1st
A typical Chomp Festival includes a romp through Cabbagetown, described as an easy, flat, 5K followed up with beer for breakfast for the hardy. Find that perfect spot at one of our 4 music stages for some bodacious bluegrass music that traveled from all over just to see you. At 12:30 the Chili Tasting Begins! Grab that $5 spoon and dive down the Chili Rows. Are you going to hit individual chilis first or do you find it hard to resist the temptations of Restaurant Row. Make sure to wander through our Artist Market that has as much Cabbagetown flavor as the chili. Don’t miss Brussel Sprout Park where the stage is family friendly. Don’t forget to wander back to the main stage for the Cabbagetown games.
Decatur Wine Festival
November 8th
Taste wines from around the globe, sample delicious food from Decatur-area restaurants, and enjoy live DJ Troy Cono at metro Atlanta’s largest outdoor wine festival.
