Reflections from the 2009 Atlanta Arts Festival at Piedmont Park. AJC/Elissa Eubanks

For being a few days off from fall’s official start, I feel like we’re already deep into the season when every vegetable has a celebration and every beer is sipped in the company of a polka band. The Atlanta Arts Festival celebrates a different variety of delights, but fits right into the season none the less. Check with out some photos from the Atlanta Arts Festival, and share in the comments: how was it this year, and where does it fit among  the must-see fall festivals in the metro area?
