What to know if you're going to the AJC Decatur Book Festival
Good news: The 2015 AJC Decatur Book Festival is Sept. 4-6 and will include appearances from Erica Jong, Roxane Gay, Elizabeth Alexander and Catherine Seltzer, among many, many more.
Better news: Getting to the three-day festival is easy. The city's square, at the center of all the action, is located off of MARTA's east-west (blue) line.
Or if you're biking, the festival is offering free parking, courtesy of Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, and free bike valet, courtesy of Bicycle South and the Decatur Downtown Development Authority.
Or if you're driving, there are plenty of metered, paid and parking deck options. The city maintains more information about all of that, including specific rates, here.
By foot, by bike or by car, you'll want to keep a map handy to get to all the events, which are spread out around downtown Decatur. Here you go.
You also won't want to miss any of the festival's higlights. We have a guide to those as well.
And if you find yourself with some free time between events, or craving a bite to eat, be sure to avail yourself of the city's "left-of-center brand of food, shopping and entertainment."
