These are my personal suggestions for yummy and special local places to take Mom. I was thinking about planning ahead and came up with the list below. Lucky for me I'll be in my home town for Sunday lunch cooked by "the best cooker in the world" (quote from my son about his Granny!)
A Mother's Day tradition in the City of Dunwoody, the crowd-pleasing Dunwoody Art Festival will celebrate its fourth dazzling show on May 11 and 12, 2013.
Saturday: 10-6
Sunday: 12:30-5
In its second season, Dunwoody Art Festival drew a remarkable crowd of more than 70,000 happy grandmothers, moms, children, and of course, lots of dads too! The picturesque stretch of Chamblee Dunwoody Road across from Dunwoody Village transforms into a whimsical artist market, and the normally traffic-lined street becomes a shoppers' paradise. Bestowed the trophy for the "Best New Event of 2010" by the Southeast Festivals and Events Association, Dunwoody Art Festival continues to attract the top artisans from across the country. Along with the partnership of the Dunwoody Crier, incredible community volunteers and the Dunwoody Rotary Club, Dunwoody Art Festival is a must-see!
Along with the creative artist market, a fun-filled Kidz Zone awaits youngsters with great rides, sand art, imaginative crafts and games with the help from local favorite, the Purple Hippo Art Studio. A relaxing stage with continuous live music also offers festivalgoers a chance to unwind and relax before setting out again in search for that "gotta have it" piece of art. Dunwoody Art Festival also boasts a yummy food court with great eats from neighborhood restaurants, to that tasty funnel cake maker. There truly is something for everyone at Dunwoody Art Festival!
