When the air begins to crisp in late September, a new arts festival will descend on midtown. The inaugural Midtown Festival of the Arts will be a weekend of Atlanta food and culture.

“Every day, Midtowners roll out the red carpet for visitors to Woodruff Arts Center, High Museum, the Fox Theater and the many wonderful festivals in Piedmont Park,” Leslie Johnson, president of Midtown Festival of the Arts said. “In the past couple of years, developments like 12th and Midtown have added shops, restaurants, visitors and residents to the Midtown Mile, and the new streetscaping ties it all together along Peachtree Street. This festival is organized by Midtowners and all proceeds will fund even more improvements in midtown.”

The festival will highlight visual, performing, culinary and literary artists up and down the Midtown Mile, which stretches from 5th to 10th streets on Peachtree. An artists market will let patrons purchase beautiful and unique pieces from local artists to enjoy at home. Performances will take place on the Main Stage as well as other venues across the festival and showcase dancers, comedians, singers, bands, poets and a wide range of other performances. Fifth Group Restaurants will select restaurants and food vendors to demonstrate their culinary crafts that will please any epicurean. A children’s area at the Margaret Mitchell house will provide performances specifically for children, as well as hands-on crafts and activities.

The festival will feature other exciting activities as well, such as a traditional beer garden, Midtown Mile Road Race, art auction and film presentations.

The Midtown Mile is an exciting place visit, but an even better place to live. Calling a luxury Atlanta condo at 1010 Midtown home gives you access to premier dining, boutique shopping and numerous events mere steps from the lobby.
