Atlantans may be car crazy (valet parking at the mall, anyone?), but we'd gladly walk for food, fun, and a good cause. Leave your car in park and put your best foot forward for this Adventure: the Buckhead Beer and Wine Festival, a street-style event featuring unlimited tastings of craft beer and fine wines, food trucks, live music, and a ton of fun activities.
Mosey over to Frankie Allen Park Buckhead (435 Pharr Rd NE) on Saturday, September 8, where our LivingSocial team will be waiting to check us in. The event is open to the public to enjoy the entertainment; those 21 and over who'd like to take it up a notch can pay $35 and receive a tasting glass to enjoy unlimited samples of up to 100 beers and wines. After the gates open at 1 p.m., we'll start making the rounds. Munchies from six of Atlanta's best food trucks will be available for purchase, and free Vitamin Water and Kill Cliff recovery drink will keep us hydrated. We'll put on our dancing shoes for five hours of live music, including DJs from Fit Radio andThe Breakfast Club, atoe-tally awesome '80s tribute band.
Throughout the event, we'll have our run of backyard lawn games, activities, and a live art exhibit from One Love Generation—an organization dedicated to empowering youth to inspire social change, plus a portion of all proceeds will go to benefit the organization. A pair of souvenir LivingSocial sunglasses are also ours to take home at the end of the day. Walking may not always be our first choice, but this is one Adventure that's far from pedestrian.

BUCKHEAD BEER & WINE FESTIVAL A DISASTER FOR AREA RESIDENTS!!!
Although I enjoy and support activities in our local parks, the BUCKHEAD BEER & WINE FESTIVAL was a disaster for residents who live adjacent to Frankie Allen Park in Buckhead. Now, I am not against activities in the park, but due to the layout of the park where residences’ backyards back up to the park on three sides, any activity that includes live amplified music is a disaster (not just a inconvenience) for us whose backyards abut the park. Frankie Allen Park is literally right across the back fence from my house. That, and the small size of the park, means that any loud sounds in the park go right through our homes. Saturday, during the festival, it was as if someone was outside my front door, back door and all the windows banging on them as hard as they could. You could not listen to your own music, or tv, or take a nap, or even think. And, I do not exaggerate!
I hope the City of Atlanta Parks Department will understand this in any future planning for the activities in the park. And by the way, the festival was not free (they charged $35 entrance) and they did not even notify or invite any area residents. We can do without this kind of stuff in our neighborhood!

Gary, I was at the festival. Sorry to hear the noise bothered you. Tickets were $35 for the beer tastings, but entry to the festival was free to anyone.
