Major Food Events Around Atlanta This Summer | Eater Atlanta
"Beginning this October, an open-air food festival will run year-round every Saturday in South Downtown at 140 Forsyth Street SW, featuring more than 40 food vendors weekly including pop-ups, food trucks, bars, and artists; vendor applications are open now. Originating in New York in 2011 as an incubator space for up-and-coming culinary talent, the festival’s co-owner and CEO said: “Smorgasburg has always been about discovering and championing the most exciting emerging culinary voices,” and added, “When we looked at where to expand next, Atlanta stood out immediately — there’s a dynamic and thriving pop-up food scene here that’s deeply rooted in creativity, community, and cultural pride.” Regarding the South Downtown location, April Stammel of South Downtown said: “Atlanta is such a food-loving city, and the experience Smorgasburg will bring to South Downtown is going to be unlike anything else that exists here in Atlanta.”" - Henna Bakshi
