Indie Craft Experience (ICE), purveyors of dynamic craft markets and pop-up shops, is hosting a two-day shopping event celebrating summer like no other on Saturday, June 3 and Sunday, June 4, 2017.  Dazzling Atlanta since 2005 when they debuted the inaugural summer market, ICE founders Shannon Mulkey Green and Christy Petterson have moved the coveted event to a brand new location at Colony Square in Midtown. Featuring over 90 of the best craft and vintage vendors from across the country, music by DJ Zano, local food offerings and much more, Summer ICE takes place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day and is just $5 cash at the door to enter. Kids 12 and under get in for free.  The first 250 shoppers each day will also receive complimentary swag bags upon arrival designed by local artists.
 

 “We are thrilled to host the Indie Craft Experience at Colony Square this year. The unique vendors, local culinary delights and artful encounters create the perfect complement to the reimagined Colony Square experience. We look forward to exploring the creative craft market along with our guests, residents and office tenants,” says Sara Carville, marketing coordinator at Colony Square. 

Proving to be an unforgettable two-day shopping experience year after year, Summer ICE will also feature a special appearance on Saturday, June 3rd from #weloveatl.  Striving to connect the city by telling stories through photographs, guests will interact with the iconic Chevy P30 bread truck that was converted to mobile photography gallery. All print proceeds will benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank.  Additionally, local favorite, Tiny Doors ATL, will return and host a special “tiny garden” interactive DIY experience each day. Attendees who sign up are invited to make a living tiny garden of their own design with fun miniatures and tiny succulents.  For the full list of hand-selected vendors, which includes independent artists, printmakers, jewelry makers, artisans, crafters, makers and more, visit www.ice-atlanta.com/vendors-summer-ice.

Event Recap: 3rd Annual Fire in the Fourth Festival

/

This past Saturday, May 20, 2017, thousands of revelers attended the third annual Fire in the Fourth festival in the heart of the Old Fourth Ward. Hailing the historic Great Atlanta Fire of 1917, which burned over 50 city blocks in the Old Fourth Ward, this year's fête celebrated with a never-before-seen interactive installation of the 100-year history of Boulevard, one of the best seen performances by Circus Combustus, and a diverse offering of live, local musicians, dancers, visuals artists, food, drinks and much more. Known as a resilient community, Saturday’s rain was no obstacle for the festival as attendees ducked inside local businesses on Edgewood and Auburn Avenues to mix and mingle before The Seed and Feed Marching Abominable band brought back the party back to the streets and bonafide New Orleans-style brass band, Wasted Potential Brass Band, hit the main stage, getting the entire crowd to dance. A free festival that’s open to all ages, all proceeds from Fire in the Fourth benefit the Old Fourth Ward Business Association’s beautification and public safety initiatives. For the full list of attractions or additional information, visit www.fireinthe4th.com. [Photos courtesy CWPR]

Mark your calendars for year four! The date for the 4th annual Fire in the Fourth festival will be on Saturday May 19, 2018.
