OK. We know it is August but what better time to get your Christmas shoppiing finished. Buy unique and artistic gifts from one or more of our 100+ artists; enjoy great food, music and people watching; great activities for the kids; sample gourmet foods from some of Atlanta's top chefs at our Corks & Forks event (Corks & Forks is a ticketed event within the Festial); more, more and more. So much cooler than the mall.
Start: 11:00 am
End: 5:00 pm

Our 4th Installment of Corks & Forks promises to be the season's coolest ticket. Corks & Forks is the only ticketed component of the Summer Shade Festival and we are on track to sell out. Top chefs from across the city join with wine and craft beer purveyors to give attendees a great overview of the city's culinary arts scene. Be there, be seen. Also enjoy wine/ale seminars given by experts in the field. Don't wait till the last minute to buy your tickets. We print a set number of tickets and once they are gone, well, there's always Corks & Forks 2010. Please note, Corks & Forks opens at 1pm and closes at 5pm. We hope you will get out and enjoy the Summer Shade Festival before or after you attend Corks & Forks. Corks & Forks is held in large covered pavilions in historic L.P. Grant Park. It is a rain or shine event. Sorry, no ticket refunds. Ticket sales are final. | ||
