One of best known traditional events held in my hometown of Alpharetta is the Taste of Alpharetta, the largest "Taste of" festival in the South. Alpharetta is a rapidly developing surburban city situated roughly half an hour northeast of Atlanta. The town has been established since 1858 and thus is best known for preserving its historical and cultural values through its architecture, arts & crafts festivals, and other various events. Arts and craft festivals, such as the Juried Arts and the Arts Streetfest Festival are held once a year to observe unique artworks and enjoy musical performances. However, the Taste of Alpharetta tops them all, with +70 restaurants and +70,000 attendees. It is held once a year in the middle of May and hosts a variety of multicultural cuisines, ranging from Southern style cooking like Smokejack: A Southern Grill, to ice cream places such as Cold Stone Creamery, and even to exquisite fine dining like the Cabernet. You can sample delicious appetizers, desserts, and get FREE prizes. There are also exhibits such as the culinary competitions between top chefs competing for prizes, and additionally, there are musical performances, from Irish dancing and folk to top hit songs performed by localists. Because the festival attracts so many restaurants and people to the area, Alpharetta is one of the fastest growing cities in the South, and has become so diversified and culturally rich in all aspects.
