Satisfy your need for speed with a visit to the Atlanta Motor Speedway. This southern speedway is host to NASCAR's famous Sprint Cup race, held every year on Labor Day weekend. If you're not one to watch laps and laps of a NASCAR race, the track hosts "Friday Night Drags" from spring until fall. The cars competing in the drag races hit top speeds, flying down a 1/8 mile stretch.
Join in the celebration of Caribbean culture at the Atlanta Caribbean Carnival. Bright costumes, music and parades are a large part of this festival, along with Caribbean food, arts and crafts, and other live entertainment. The festival is celebrated right before Lent, and is somewhat of a "last hurrah" before the observation of the Catholic tradition.
Hang out with your favorite animals at Zoo Atlanta. Through the zoo's exhibits and attractions, you'll explore the natural habitats of wild animals like tigers, elephants, giraffes, zebras, alligators, orangutans, and pandas. Zoo Atlanta is one of only four U.S. Zoological parks that house giant pandas. You'll get your fill of nature and family time on your visit to the zoo.
