About Atlanta's Inman Park

It's finally here! My favorite festival in Atlanta, the Inman Park Spring Festival and Tour of Homes.

Inman Park Festival is this weekend (April 24 - 26) and offers a something for everyone:

TOUR OF HOMES

• The Inman Park Tour of Homes features some gorgeous historic Victorian homes, Craftsman bungalows and even a few contemporary homes and lofts. This year, there will be 13 homes on the tour from Friday, April 24 to Sunday, April 27, starting at 12 noon each day. Advance tickets are $15.00 and $20.00 the day of the event. Click here for more information. You can also take a peek at the new Inman Park VIRTUAL Tour of Homes.

ARTIST'S MARKET & CRAFT SHOW

• From 11 - 6 on Saturday and Sunday, stroll through the streets of Inman Park and you'll find everything from local artwork to jewelry to custom-made doggie collars!

THE PARADE!

• I have to say the the HIGHLIGHT of the festival is the Inman Park PARADE -- you really shouldn't miss it. Everyone and anyone can participate (with prior registration, of course) and you'll see some of the most eclectic residents of Hotlanta strutting their stuff. From men on stilts to local school bands to some of the wackiest outfits you've ever seen. It is hilarious... and fun for the whole family! The parade is on SATURDAY ONLY, so I would highly recommend that you get there early to claim your spot!

There is also classic dance at the Trolley Barn, live music in the park, pony rides and a moon walk for the kids.

The 38th Annual Inman Park Festival is this weekend, Saturday, April 25, 2009 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 26, 2009 11a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The Parade is Saturday at 2 p.m. This event is fun for the whole family. The parade is a colorful mix of everything. It's led by the Inman Park butterfly, followed by marching bands, floats, art cars, politicians, drill teams, mascots, clowns, jugglers, and many more, closed by the Inman Park Trash Queen riding aloft a city street sweeper. The parade takes place rain or shine.

The parade begins on Edgewood Avenue at Spruce Street, follows Edgewood to Hurt Street, Hurt Street to Euclid Avenue and Euclid Avenue to Austin Avenue where it disbands.

There will be a fabulous Tour of Homes. Inman Park Festival Tour of Homes 2009 features 13 various homes, old and new, houses and lofts, plus the historic Inman Park United Methodist Church. Advance tickets can be purchased online at a discount prior to the Festival at the link above. Home Tour dates are Friday through Sunday, beginning at 12 noon each day. All houses and the church are open Saturday and Sunday; and most are also open Friday afternoon. If you can do the Tour of Homes on Friday afternoon, that is the best opportunity to view the homes before the streets are blocked off for the weekend Festival crowds.

Home Tour Tickets are $15 if purchased before April 24, 2009 and $20 during the Festival. Tickets may be purchased online or at select local retailers prior to Festival, or at any of the Festival ticket booths during the weekend of Festival.
