Labor Day in Atlanta is pretty much amazing. Each year there are a ton of events. This year it was DragonCon, NASCAR race, Black Gay Pride Festival, Decatur Book Festival, Chick-fil-A kick-off game, Georgia Tech and Georgia State home football games, Weekender Music Fest, Beer and Whiskey Fest, StarLight Drive Invasion, Atlanta Jerk Festival, and even "LudaDay Weekend" sponsored by Ludacris.
We didn't have the time (or energy!) to go to ALL of the events, but we made our way around town to several of the big happenings. Let the cluster commence:
