Atlanta, GA, April 26, 2017: The phrase, ‘Taste The World!’ now has a new meaning for more than 52,000 metro Atlantans and Southeast area regional travelers. They all were treated to a fun-filled event entitled, ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL NIGHT MARKET (ATLNIGHTMARKET.ORG) this past weekend (April 21st – 23rd) for which a follow-up festival for November 3rd – 5th, 2017 is already in the works. People drove from seven neighboring states to attend this family-friendly 3-day event celebrating diversity, culture, cuisine, and community. Most guests visited on Friday and Saturday, as Sunday was mainly wet with heavy rains.
In the words of one attendee, “If I had to describe this night with one word, it would be ‘Magical’. There was such a spirit of unity, and this evening far exceeded my expectations. I’m so proud of this community for showing up, and making this a memorable night for everyone who attended.” – Alisha Cole
Special thanks to all of the event sponsors including Coca-Cola, UPS, Delta Airlines, Georgia Natural Gas, Emory University and so many others who took a leap of faith in supporting this first-time event and to the over 200 volunteers who worked tirelessly through every phase of this project from planning & promotion to working the event.
