What are the best town squares across metro Atlanta?

A town square is the center of the action for small towns around metro Atlanta. For some it’s the cultural or shopping center, for others it’s a place where people can go on nice days.

This week for Best of Atlanta, we're having readers choose the best town square in the Atlanta area. Don't just vote for the one you live closest to - pick the one you think offers the most lively entertainment, captures the history of the community and truly serves as the cultural center.

These squares hold all kinds of fun events, from the AJC Decatur Book Festival to the tour of southern ghosts in the Historic Square at Stone Mountain Park.

Check out your town's square and you could find a delicious new BBQ restaurant or fun, free workout classes or even enjoy a cold one along the squares where open containers are now allowed.

The winner from previous years? Marietta Square. Let's see if they take the cake this year!

If you'd like to submit a write-in nominee for best town square, please email your pick to stephanie.toone@ajc.com.
