There’s always something fun happening in Sandy Springs! With festivals and events ranging from holiday gift markets to paddleboard races, visitors of all interests can find events to enjoy during all seasons.
In 2016, we launched a new tradition with the first annual "Take it to the River" Lantern Parade. Join us as we stroll together with brightly-colored and lighted globes, parasols, hats and whimsical creatures of every kind to pay tribute to the Chattahoochee and the community on its borders. As the parade arrives at Morgan Falls Overlook Park, we enjoy entertainment and sweet frozen treats while gazing out on a flotilla of lanterns in the shape of turtles, frogs, lily pads and Alice, the 25ft. albino alligator. It's a delightful way to spend a summer's evening.
Food That Rocks is Sandy Springs signature taste-of event. For one night only, more than 25 of Sandy Springs' favorite restaurants will be rocking the big tent on the Green at City Springs, in the heart of Sandy Springs. This all-inclusive event will provide you with food, wine, beer and cocktail tastes from local mixologists, live music and benefits local charities.
