Alpharetta’s location, at the foothills of the southern Appalachians, provides a mild climate and four distinct seasons.  The city’s elevation and relatively close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean moderate the summer heat, while the mountains to the north shield the city from polar air masses providing mild winters.  So whether you are planning a trip for a sports tournament, a concert at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, a wedding or a family reunion, most any day is a beautiful day in Alpharetta!
