The goal of the Dance Festival is to celebrate the depth and breadth of Atlanta and Georgia’s dance community and to encourage audience to patronize presented dance organizations beyond their Festival experience. Movement Arts Atlanta’s Director, Carolyn Stine McLaughlin is the founder and curator for the Dance Festival.
Inman Park Festival & Tour of Homes takes place in one of Atlanta’s oldest and most scenic neighborhoods. First developed in the late 1800s, Inman Park features an abundance of historic homes and several scenic parks. The Festival began in the early 1970’s as a means to attract attention for revitalization efforts in the community. The Festival is Atlanta’s largest all volunteer festival. Organized by the Inman Park Neighborhood Association, the Festival has grown to become a full weekend packed with events offering something for everybody: a tour of homes, artist market, music, dance, food, kid’s activities, and a legendary parade.
