I know Fall is just around the corner when the Yellow Daisy Festival arrives at Stone Mountain Park just outside of Atlanta.  As I’ve gotten a little older, my desire to insert myself into large crowds and lots of traffic has waned a bit, but one festival I continue to go back to year after year is the Yellow Daisy.  I especially like it if I can slip away and go for a visit on Thursday or Friday.

The planning committee seems to do a great job at having a nice variety of interesting artisans and food vendors.   The biggest draw for me though is the location.  Unlike many arts fairs that reside on hot parking lots or busy streets, the Yellow Daisy is scattered about meandering paths under a lovely canopy of shady pine trees.  Throw in a cooler September day and you have the recipe for fun, Southern style!
