One of our palate pleasing Atlanta Festivals is the 9th Annual Taste of Atlanta Festival on October 23rd and 24th at Tech Square in Midtown, just blocks from our Atlanta Bed and Breakfast. This must eat Atlanta event will host over 70 restaurants for you to select from. Each restaurant will temp your taste-buds with their savory and sweet specialities. You will also have the opportunity to sip robust wine and hearty beers.
As you stroll thru the Go Green Village and the Farm to Festival Village you will learn about the sustainable movement and how our local restaurants are incorporating locally grown products daily in their restaurants. Learn how easy it is to go green at home. You will also have the opportunity to take home local produce, Speciality products and Eco-Friendly Products.
