The 38th Annual Inman Park Festival is this weekend, Saturday, April 25, 2009 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 26, 2009 11a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The Parade is Saturday at 2 p.m. This event is fun for the whole family. The parade is a colorful mix of everything. It's led by the Inman Park butterfly, followed by marching bands, floats, art cars, politicians, drill teams, mascots, clowns, jugglers, and many more, closed by the Inman Park Trash Queen riding aloft a city street sweeper. The parade takes place rain or shine.
The parade begins on Edgewood Avenue at Spruce Street, follows Edgewood to Hurt Street, Hurt Street to Euclid Avenue and Euclid Avenue to Austin Avenue where it disbands.
There will be a fabulous Tour of Homes. Inman Park Festival Tour of Homes 2009 features 13 various homes, old and new, houses and lofts, plus the historic Inman Park United Methodist Church. Advance tickets can be purchased online at a discount prior to the Festival at the link above. Home Tour dates are Friday through Sunday, beginning at 12 noon each day. All houses and the church are open Saturday and Sunday; and most are also open Friday afternoon. If you can do the Tour of Homes on Friday afternoon, that is the best opportunity to view the homes before the streets are blocked off for the weekend Festival crowds.
Home Tour Tickets are $15 if purchased before April 24, 2009 and $20 during the Festival. Tickets may be purchased online or at select local retailers prior to Festival, or at any of the Festival ticket booths during the weekend of Festival.
