2nd Annual Decatur Tiny House Festival Offers Big Excitement

Anyone with an interest in microliving, sustainability or simply downsizing to a better lifestyle can get motivated, educated and empowered at the 2nd annual Decatur Tiny House Festival, presented by Mitsubishi Electric, taking place Sept. 29 – Oct. 1. Organized by Tiny House Atlanta and City of Decatur, the Tiny House Festival offers three days of thought-provoking speakers and 25+ real – and really cool – tiny houses to tour.

The weekend kick offs with the VIP Preview Event, Tiny House Soiree, with keynote speaker Steven Nygren, founder of Serenbe, who will discuss innovations in housing and what they mean to Atlanta. Throughout festival weekend, attendees will be able to attend various sessions, such as a presentation from City of Atlanta’s Commissioner of City Planning Tim Keane who will consider the relationship between the micro movement and metropolitan cities. And ticketholders will enjoy a lesson in “less is more” from organization and downsizing experts Claudia Morris Barclay and Catherine Lee who will present “How to Downsize and Organize Your Way to Happiness.” Additional topics covered during the festival talks include minimalism, urban planning, tiny house zoning and codes, utilization of space and the social impact of microliving.

In addition to the house tour and speaker symposium, local and national vendors will be onsite promoting sustainable practices and showcasing products made for tiny houses. The relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere also includes a DJ, a food court with food trucks and bicycle parking.

The 2nd annual Decatur Tiny House Festival receives generous support from Mitsubishi Electric Cooling & Heating, City of Decatur, iMade This, microLife Institute, MARTA, Harris Diversified LLC, Verizon, HomeCraft and Sherwood Chiropractic Clinic.
