Awesome Alpharetta

Festival-lovers and arts enthusiasts can look forward to two days of strolling through outdoor galleries filled with fine paintings, mixed media, photography, pottery and jewelry, as well as textile, glass, wood, metal and paper art.  The 80 artists to be featured in the Annual Alpharetta Arts Streetfest were selected by a jury comprised of art professionals from the Alpharetta community. Selected artists will be traveling to Alpharetta from the Carolinas, Florida, Maryland, Ohio and Texas, and local artists in Georgia will be in attendance as well.

 

Arts Streetfest will include live jazz, Americana, folk and classic rock. In addition, the main stage will feature cultural dancing, including salsa and Irish dancing. Festival cuisine will include barbecue from Smokejack: A Southern Grill, Italian favorites from Carmine’s Restaurant & Pizzeria, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and additional street fare such as Italian ice, fresh squeezed lemonade and dessert specialties by Fudgie Wudgie.

Alpharetta Arts Streetfest will take place on Milton Avenue between Main Street (SR 9) and Roswell-Canton Street in the Historic Downtown area. Free parking is available for festival-goers at City Hall, Milton Center (the old Milton High School) and City of Alpharetta downtown parking lots. Downtown shops and restaurants will offer specials and extended business hours during the festival.
