Signs of festival

It's so sad, Festival is now over and we have to wait another year for it to come again. I'm planning on doing the Public Safety thing again next year. Wow, two years under my belt right now.

In early April, things start ramping up for Festival. There's a buzz and excitement in the air. You see a lot of neighbors out in their yards and working on their houses to make everything just right. I get goosebumps sometimes walking through the neighborhood and seeing all the people out and about. I remember last year the first time I heard an ad on the radio for Inman Park's Festival, I was overwhelmed with emotion.

Then the big event arrives. The golf carts are delivered ...



The streets are closed, and the big tent goes up.


Everyone on the festival committee is always amazed how everything comes together and just happens. It's completely incredible to be a part of this event.

From a neighbor about her kids and Festival:
"Every year J and G look for the 'signs of Festival coming'……the very first sign is when Bob B comes and puts up the power pole in front of our house. They called us at work to declare the happy news on the day the power pole arrived. The second sign is when the banner goes up at Edgewood and Euclid . We got a call about that, too. The third sign is when the flags go up. The fourth sign is when the “emergency/no parking” signs go up. What a delightful assumption they make that Festival has just always been and will always be part of their springtime!!!!"
