There were a TON of people here. And lots of dogs and strollers and babies. There were so many excellent artists. This is a high class show. After seeing what the other artists had to offer I felt honored to have been selected. I don't think I saw any B/S or cheap shoes. The weather was perfect. Load in was a little tricky but well managed. You just have to be a little patient. There is just barely room for your vehicle/trailer to fit between the tents and edge of road. No room to pull off. If you are behind someone who is unloading just have a sip or two of coffee and listed to the tunes. When it is your turn dump as quick as you can and get out of the way. Then come back and set up. This is just the way it is. The folks that run this show did an amazing job. They came by regularly to check up on you. They were always pleasant and professional. Load out was similar to load in. Do it right. Be packed and ready and THEN get your vehicle and when you get to your spot load up as quick as possible. And it worked. It worked because the people that participated in this event are first class artists and know how to work with their neighbors. I really enjoyed this show. We did pretty good here. And then had a couple after show sales so that helped.

I meant "done this" not "don't this". ; )
Hi Maryllis, have you don't this Chastain Park art fair since 2013? I am new to the Atlanta area and wondering if this art fair is worth the expense. I would be applying to be in the May event.
Hi Maryllis, I'm new to the Art Fair circuit and enjoyed reading your account of the Buckhead ~ Chastain Park show. I'm based in Michigan and have only experienced a few shows but it's always interesting to hear about art fairs in other places. I loved your photo too, it really gives you a sense of the crowds, the weather and the venue itself. Thanks for sharing...C.Towell
