DEL.ICIO.USDo you plan travel around festivals?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This week, as we do at the start of every quarter, we ran the Southeast Tourism Society’s list of best festivals and events for the coming quarter.
Do you use this list to help plan short trips around Georgia or the Southeast? Do you attend the same festivals year after year? What’s your favorite? Have you ever attended one that disappointed?
I love apple harvest time North Georgia in fall, and try to get up there for a festival. The Dogwood Festival at Piedmont Park used to be one of my favorites when I lived near the park though I haven’t been in years — the traffic is just not worth it. One spring, I was in Washington in cherry blossom season and it was beautiful. We’ve attended quite a few boat show/boat races in Sarasota, Fla., around the July 4th holiday. And I’ve been to a couple of events that weren’t that entertaining for adults but kids were having a great time. One annual event that shall remain nameless was particularly miserable: hotter than hot and not much interesting going on, and worse, I went with a group and couldn’t leave. But that’s been the exception. .
