If you are looking for something to do this weekend, you should go to the Sweet Auburn Music Festival. The Sweet Auburn Music Fest is an annual event, and it is full of music, food, and fun. There will be two days of non-stop music from nationally known artists, and local artists that are performing alternative, R&B, Gospel and Rap/Hip-Hop genres. What I love about this event is that it is FREE for everyone and that it is a family event. Yes, you can bring your children. The kids can participate in scheduled fun activities that are free and some that have a fee. Take a stroll into the car and bike show to see some of the most beautiful cars. Grady Health System is offering FREE health screenings in their pavilion area with lots of information available. Or you can visit the Ford Experience and test drive the latest model vehicles, and you might have a chance to win one!

With everything there are a few rules, you can’t bring coolers into the event because there will be an array of food truckers and vendors with reasonable priced food and drink available to purchase. They are encouraging you to support small businesses here in Atlanta. There is a no pet rule, but it only applies to large breeds. If your dog is small enough for you to carry them, they are permitted. The Sweet Auburn Music Fest is a great opportunity to hang out with friends and family and enjoy the culture of Atlanta. Festival organizers suggest that you take MARTA to Five Points Station or Peachtree Station and ride the Street Car down to the festivities.  I hope to see you there!  If you attend be sure to tag #wportho in your pictures so we can enjoy them!
