Picture Book: Duluth Festival

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 01:42:35 +0000

This weekend marked Duluth Fall Festival’s 25th year. I would say this is the best festival in Georgia. It is so organized and there are so many food options. Every detail has been well-thought of from the picnic tables for people to eat, to the garbage cans that are never left half-full. This year, there were more sponsors and food options including Longhorn Steaks which had an $8-plate that included an 8-oz steak, mashed potatoes, roll, and bottle of water. Shane’s Rib Shack was also there as well as a few other additions this year. Also new this year was a second stage for live entertainment. We caught the set of a local band who played rock-n-roll favorites such as covers from U2, Pearl Jam, and many more. We’ve been going to the Duluth Fall Festival for many years now and so far, this year has been the best.

Duluth Fall Festival

Mon, 10 Sep 2007 06:24:33 +0000

The 25th annual Duluth Fall Festival will be held on September 29 & 30, 2007. This yearly festival happens on the last weekend of September with a kick-off parade through the streets of Duluth. The Duluth Fall Festival is one of the most organized festivals I’ve ever been to in Georgia so I highly recommend that you go. I’ve been going for the last few years and have yet to be disappointed. Through the years, the festival has grown bigger. They are expecting over 400 booths of arts, crafts, and food this year which means there’s bound to have something for everyone. Aside from the booths, there are lots of shows lined up including performances from different bands, cheerleading squad, puppeeter, and other entertainers. There is also lots of children’s activities including pony rides, moonwalks, face painting, and many more.

Here are some pictures from last year’s festival:

The festival is held in downtown Duluth. Most roads around the area will be closed but there will be signs to direct you to other routes. Plenty of free parking. Bring cash if you want to purchase food from the participating food booths. There are so many types of food and snacks to choose from including Barbeque, Greek, Chinese, American, and many more.

Cheap Eats: Super H Mart

For a guaranteed delicious cheap eats, head on over to Super H Mart (three locations: Duluth, Johns Creek and Riverdale) and try the Korean restaurant inside the supermarket’s food court. With prices starting at $4, you get a big Korean entree, rice, soup, and about 3 Korean appetizers (usually kimchi or pickled veggies like cabbage and radish). Pictured above is the Bulgogi Bibimbap. It’s basically a rice dish complete with vegetables and Korean beef. It is so delicious.

Super H Mart is a Korean-owned one-stop-shop for Asian fruits, vegetables, and dry goods, although they also carry American goods. The fresh seafood section is one of its must-visit, as well as their premises-prepared cooked food.
