We know its won several years in a row, and we like to vary our picks when possible. But the INMAN PARK FESTIVAL proves its special every single April. Theres no better place to browse booths filled with modestly priced rustic art, plants, handmade jewelry and kitsch. The neighborhoods elegant Victorian homes make the scenery awesome. The crowds diverse. The musics great, and very varied. And unlike most neighborhood fests, the three-day Inman Park event takes place under the leafy shade of narrow tree-lined streets. What really sets the festival apart, though, is its opening day parade, which features colorful floats, grinning politicos and, of course, the Feed and Seed Marching Abominable Marching Band.
