My name is Anna, and I run the lifestyle blog In Honor of Design. I am thankful to Aileen for having me and thought it would be fun to share a few favorite things to do from my city of Atlanta. Trust me, its worth a visit ;) Each year we are here in Atlanta, we try to make it a point to explore a new place. We live in the big and beautiful city ,but its so easy to get comfortable with your 5 mile radius (especially when you have little ones). Here are a few of the favorite places our city has to offer…
Farmers Markets
These are held in many counties throughout Atlanta. Many of the local farmers bring out their best produce and meats every weekend of the summer and into fall. They are super friendly, just as you would imagine in the south, and there are some wonderful dips and desserts to sample.
Art Festivals
There are some really cool festivals that occur almost every other weekend in Atlanta. One of our favorites is the Piedmont Park arts festival where many local artists set up tents and booths, live music plays, and food carts are in surplus:) We struggled to pick a popcorn flavor. So many great options...
If you ever get the chance, this is something that makes memories. (Maybe good and bad;)) We had such a blast watching some of the best bull riders and wild horse riders in the country at the annual rodeo that comes to Cumming, GA. It hurts your stomach to watch at times, but the atmosphere, the entertainment, and the culture that comes with a rodeo ticket is something you won’t ever forget.
A favorite discovery to date. It looks like its out of a movie and the crepes are to die for! (Can you tell I like food yet??) There is quaint seating indoors and outside and you can even watch them make the giant crepes in front of you! Definitely a must visit.
Roswell Provisions
This is hands down our favorite locally owned coffee shop. There is character in every corner...not to mention creme of the crop coffee. French accents and french decor make it feel like you stepped into a different city:)
What is your favorite spot to hit up in your city? I would love to hear!
Thank you so much Aileen for having me!

Love this! Sometimes you need to look at your own city through tourists eyes to really see what it has to offer!
It is great to be a tourist at home! Looks like some great spots to visit. Thank you!
these all look like such fun! i love the farmers market we have here in good old Olympia. I spend so much time down there!
What a delightful list! I've visited Atlanta a few times growing up but would love to go back and explore now that I can take time and appreciate all of the hidden treasures :)
My daughter and I are coming to Atlanta late June, I wondered if you had any suggestions. We like to shop, but not big stores. We like unique, boutique, arts that kind of stuff. Even creative junk. We've done the touristy stuff. We would Luke something different. Any suggestions?
