Georgia Real Estate Voice: Decatur Beach Party

Jen Bowman's Georgia Real Estate Voice is about things that are relevant to Dekalb County and metro Atlanta area residents, including Decatur. It includes Dekalb real estate, local events around Decatur and Atlanta, lots of free events, local attractions, businesses and places I think are worth visiting. If there's a topic you'd like to see, let me know.

Decatur Beach Party

The Decatur Beach Party is back again. On Friday June 18th from 5 p.m. to Midnight downtown Decatur GA will be turned into a beach.  For those that don't know, Decatur is no where near a beach, so this is a lot of fun for us.  

Decatur brings in 60 tons of sand and turns the square into a beach for this annual event. Ponce de Leon Ave will be closed between Church Street and Clairmont Ave. There will be dancing to the beach music from the live band. Activities include children's boardwalk games, face painting and wading pools in the sand. I'm sure some will build sandcastles too.

Adults $6.50 in advance, available for online purchase here, and $10 at the gate; children 12 and under, free (limit two children per paying adult).

Just like anywhere else, there are rules. So, no coolers, glass or pets allowed please. Sponsored by Decatur Business Association. Proceeds from this annual fundraiser benefit downtown improvement projects.

Jen that is a great idea.  I guess if you can't go to the beach, then the next best thing is to bring the beach to you.
