Festivals in Atlanta: June Edition
June, the season of grads, dads, and flags, is finally here. It’s also the season of Juneteenth, LGBTQ+ Pride, and HELLA live bands like Aly & AJ. My goal is for this summer to be everybody’s best summer yet!
I have compiled a list of festivals in Atlanta (and surrounding cities) from a variety of sources to save you from stressing over what to do when your in-laws come to town. Some fests listed are free, but some will cost you a few rolls of quarters.
As always, let me know what you think. Tag me in your social media posts: #CeeWillTheTrill
