10 Events in Georgia That You Shouldn't Miss
While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

Nothing quite feels like the opening of the spring season like when the worlds top professional golfers head to the prestigious Augusta National Golf Club to compete in the Masters Tournament. As an attendee to the annual event you can watch these athletes compete against one another on arguably the most beautifully designed yet challenging gold courses in the world. If you want to be a spectator, tickets are extremely difficult to find, however you may have more luck trying to get into the events practice rounds, which require you to enter a lottery nearly a year before the event is actually held.

As a local! I found the negative reviews more of a review of Augusta not the National! It is “like Oz” bc it’s hidden behind giant green walls... on the other side everything is in “color”! Yes it sucks you can’t just walk up and take pictures but, if you could it wouldn’t be so special! There is one small sign in the front they allow pictures to be taken in front of but that’s all! Don’t try to get in you will be arrested! Just don’t waste your gas or a plane ticket thinking you can walk up into a pro shop because that’s just not how it works! Chillax people! If you get the opportunity to go and enjoy it... do it... but, only during an actual tournament!

The Atlanta Chinese Lantern Light Festival was breath taking. The life size lanterns were created with brilliant colors that changed and kept you entertained. Being able to walk through some of the displays added to the enjoyment. This event was enjoyed by a great diversity of people. The added talents of the Peacock Dancer, the Foot Juggler and other acrobatics were also of great enjoyment.
