Fire in the Fourth

The new Fire in the Fourth Festival  on Saturday from 2-10 p.m. pays homage to the historic Great Atlanta Fire of 1917 that devastated the Old Fourth Ward and features street performances, installations and live music.

On the culinary side, look for frozen treats from King of Pops, crepes from Le Metro Crepiere, ice cream from Lotta Frutta and smoked sausage and hot dogs from Smokin Honeys. Mother, Edgewood Corner Tavern, Delightful EATZ and Joystick Gamebar will be serving special Fire in the Fourth menus.
