Take in the eerie beauty of Georgia's oldest burial grounds, the Oakland Cemetery. The cemetery was founded in 1850 and there are an estimated 70,000 people laid to rest in its 48-acre expanse. Sections of the cemetery include the New Jewish section, the Black section, the Confederate section, and the cemetery's Original Six Acres; each section represents a different time in history. Some of Atlanta's most important and influential figures are interred here.
Nature's most beautiful attractions are in bloom at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. This 30-acre expanse is home to a collection of gardens, including a rose garden, a garden featuring edibles like fruits and vegetables, a conservation garden, a garden featuring water plants and many others. The botanical gardens are sure to be the most colorful attraction you see in Atlanta.
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.
Attend an event at the Infinite Energy Center, one of Atlanta's premier event venues. The Gwinnett complex is home to an arena, a performing arts center, and a convention center - meaning it offers a wide variety of entertainment options. Check the calendar at Gwinnett Center to catch hockey or basketball games, art exhibitions and craft shows, and a broad spectrum of performances from ballet, to opera, and major concerts.
