Stone Mountain's Yellow Daisy Festival starts Thursday, September 10th.  Peruse booths, listen to music, enjoy the ambience and consider climbing the mountain.  The Yellow Daisy Festival ends Sunday. 

The Atlanta Arts Festival is Saturday and Sunday at Piedmont Park from 10:00 am until 7:00 and 6:00 pm, respectively.  See chalk art and demonstrations; hear bucket drums and Andean music; and smell and / or taste festival food all while enjoying, and quite possibly purchasing, a few fine arts and crafts.  Booth artists are from all over, but definitely check out those of the locals, including Jana Epstein, Cheryl Myrbo, and Katherine Linn
