DECATUR, GA -- Could you live in 500 square feet or less? For tiny house enthusiasts, the answer is a not-so-small “YES!”

If you’re intrigued by the concept of tiny houses and small-space living and want to learn more, join Tiny House Atlanta for the first-ever Decatur Tiny House Festival, on Saturday, July 30, and Sunday, July 31, in downtown Decatur.

Ten to 15 tiny houses will be available to tour, and experts on topics such as sustainability, minimalism, urban planning, zoning and downsizing will be on hand to answer your questions.

Tiny House Atlanta, a pioneer in education and advocacy for the tiny house movement, is launching the Decatur Tiny House Festival in partnership with the City of Decatur. This first-of-its-kind event in metro Atlanta focuses on how microhousing can benefit individuals and communities in Georgia, and part of the event's proceeds will go to the Decatur Housing Initiatives Corp. – a nonprofit dedicated to developing affordable housing in Decatur.
