B 52s, John Hiatt, Gin Blossoms and More at Callaway Gardens This Weekend.

On the way to see Furthur in Atlanta last spring, we stopped for a visit in Pine Mountain, Georgia, home to Callaway Gardens. It's a little south of Atlanta, and it has a super cool butterfly house and acres and acres of beautiful gardens. I liked the tulips:

And there's food! Here's what the promoters have to say:
 
"Appearances and demos by world-class chefs – including Claire Robinson of the Food Network – pop-up kitchens from regional farm-to-table restaurants, fresh and delicious offerings from street food vendors, and our own Callaway Gardens Farmers Market ensure that your taste buds will be tickled as well. The Harvest Moon Festival will also offer college football on big screens, gardening demos, a Vendor Village featuring eco-friendly products, yoga sessions and great activities for the family like a puppet factory from Atlanta’s world-renowned Center for Puppetry Arts."


There is no camping, but there are a lot of options for places to stay  in and around Pine Mountain, including a state park.

The festival has one of the most complex sets of ticket prices and options that I have seen in a while, so be sure to check out the website. The basics: You can get an advanced ticket for the weekend for $79, and kids ages 6 to 16 are $39.50. Day passes for Friday are $39 adult, $19.50 for kids ages 6 - 16: Day passes for Saturday are $49 for adults and $24. 50 for kids ages 6 - 16.

Did I mention Callaway Gardens is beautiful?
