Which way. Not too pretty either. I expected some to do with cherry blossom trees.
I was reading off their website about the venue.
Eh, live and learn.
It's still a tad bit too early for the Cherry Blossoms but give them another good week or so. The Beltline Boil will be nice this weekend if you check that out. Plus you can check out the Beltline if you have never been on it

I just hope visitors will dispose of the crawfish heads properly, I don't want to smell that while on the BeltLine.

Atlanta Science Fest and Atlanta Film Fest were amazing over the weekend. Also made time for the car show, which is an annual treat.

I don't know, but I think when I looked at it, BBQ comps are serious business and they have a circuit - so attempting to start a professional BBQ comp isn't realistic for smaller neighborhood festival. maybe a locals only non-pro comp, but you still need to shell out prize money that makes it worth the meat, gear, and time investment.

Sorry if this has already been asked.

Are there any food or drink festivals that are run well enough where you don't spend the entire time in line or the food runs out? I'd love to go to a good BBQ festival, but I keep hearing these food and drink festivals are borderline miserable with all the queues.

While the lines are long, It hasn't been too bad at the BBQ festival at Atlantic Station the last couple years I've gone.
