Spring Festival On Ponce

Nice park, nice weather, nice people, nice walking, very nice arts and crafts vendors, just nice. Also a Fall Festival on Ponce.
Go there!

My rating is based on the overall quality of the festival, not in comparison to other festivals in the city.
My family and I love festivals, who wants to sit in front of the luvvly-​jubbly telly eating a bag of crisps and dip all day?
Well the Spring Festival On Ponce is totally Ace, just trying to park here makes you bloody gutted, so if you are coming here the best place to park is somewhere near Blue Ridge Ave NW. Which is behind the publix off Ponce, yes it might be a little walk, but if you are coming to a festival, you probably fancy a good walk.
So what was here?
First, lets start off with the awesome Unilocal table that the super dope community manager Benjamin G was at, now lets continue with the review.
[ Art ]
There are a lot of tents full of locals and quite a few out of town designers. They sell all sorts of hip items, oil paintings, even art made from dirt, metal statues for the garden, bird houses, paper butterflies, hand bags and wallets made from recycled car seats and seat belts, jewelry and there was even a couple who makes candles that when they melt, they contain minerals that can be used as a lotion to smooth the epidermis on the skin.
There was also an artist from Virginia, by the name of David Schmitzer. He was drawing sketch portraits that take only about 10 – 15 minutes and is extremely talented. Hopefully he visits Atlanta more often. If you see him around town, I’d highly recommend having him draw a portrait of you, or your family members. He is bloody good!
[ Food/​Munch ]
I was not able to checkout all of the stands, but there were quite a lot and the selections were a lot healthier than other festivals we have been to in the past. I really was pleased with that. Our previous festival we attended was selling deep fried twinkles and oreo cookies, now that’s naff and makes you want to chunder!!!
How can you miss the King of Pops? Always a delight!
[ Entertainment ]
I saw a few people playing muzik and there were inflatable bouncers for the kiddies and they were having a blast. The inflatable bouncers were about $ 2 per ride, or for $ 25 bucks the kids could bounce their way to Spártā.
[ Crowd ]
Lots of wickedly cool folks, plenty of tents, cool tats, lots of kids.
[ Conclusion ]
This was our first year attending and definitely will not be our last. If you live near by, or even over a hour away, you should come on down and enjoy the Spring Festival On Ponce!

This typically a good arts & crafts type fair which only gets better each year. Quality vendors. Stopped in at the Unilocal booth and said hi.

As far as festivals go, this one is pretty cool
It has everything from local artist to food truck and even inflatable jumping dinosaurs.
On a perfect spring, what can be more fun than being outdoors with some live music and BBQ?
We had a lot of fun and they even had a Unilocal! booth.

This is a great festival and I am glad that there are 2 per year. Check out the Fall Festival, so that you can explore the Olmsted Linear Parks, which consists of a series of parks in the middle of Ponce de Leon Avenue in the Druid Hills neighborhood.
Bf and I enjoyed the live music, tons of artisan tents, and the food trucks. Parking can be pretty tough, if you get there once the festival is well under way; however, we arrived pretty early and found a spot just 2 blocks away.

Hands down one of my favorite events of the year.
There are plenty of events and festivals to do in and around Atlanta, but, rarely does one focus so much on the arts and the community as this event does.
V. H. Summerfest has been around for many years, and its fun if you like to drink beer and listen to music, which is much different vibe than what you will find here.
The Spring Festival on Ponce is a leisurely stroll through one of the prettiest parks in Atlanta. Tree lined you will find about 150 artist lined up and with some amazing work. I’m a big fan of getting out of the house and we always enjoy being able to bring our dog and go for a walk. Which is what I love about this Arts festival, its truly about the community.
They have a great display of food trucks and its always a delight for us to try a different truck and meet the many different people. Parking was easy, we had to walk about two blocks. And, it was super easy to navigate.
The group that put this event on, really knows what they are doing and it reflects in the quality of the art and the items on display. This is an event that I will look forward to year after year.
Hands down one of the best events in Atlanta today.
