Cultural Corner Joins Sandy Springs Festival Lineup

SANDY SPRINGS, GA — Heritage Sandy Springs is in the midst of organizing the 33rd Annual Sandy Springs Festival, a two-day event family event that will return to the community Sept. 22-23.

This year’s Festival has a brand new footprint anchored by City Springs, which provides an opportunity for several new and exciting features. Over the years, the Festival has celebrated the city’s heritage and present-day Sandy Springs with an artist market, food court, exhibits by local businesses and civic organizations, a children’s zone, musical entertainment and more.

As Sandy Springs has grown, it has become home to an increasingly diverse international population that has put down roots in the area and enriched the community with their unique cultures. This year, the Sandy Springs Festival will feature a Cultural Corner, a lively, fun, and educational series of exhibits and activities designed to showcase and celebrate the community’s diversity.

This interactive area will be in a prime location on Mt. Vernon Highway adjacent to City Springs. Local ethnic restaurants, businesses, civic organizations, and artists are invited to participate and tell their stories through cuisine, goods and services, music, dance, art, and crafts. Heritage Sandy Springs’ vision is to create a colorful international market atmosphere where attendees can meet their newest neighbors while enjoying their unique cultures.

International artists, businesses, civic groups, and restaurants are encouraged to contact the Festival Director at festival@heritagesandysprings.org for more information regarding participation. The application deadline for the Cultural Corner is July 23.
