Inman Park Festival Parade Is Today

This weekend is all about Inman Park and the Inman Park Festival, one of Atlanta's favorite traditions.

It will draw thousands from metro Atlanta so it will be a good idea to leave the wheels at home and take MARTA's Blue line to the Inman Park/Reynoldstown train station.

Patch will be there to capture the sights and sounds of IP Fest 2012, but we invite you to share your pix as well, capturing those priceless moments to share with your Patch friends and neighbors.

You may upload your pictures and video clips to this story.

Here's a quick rundown of the festival's features:
