Sandy Springs announced the third annual OktoberFEAST at City Springs. Festivities run 3–7 p.m. on October 17 and 18, admission is free, and the lineup includes Bavarian food, specialty beers, live music and family activities.
The reason it belongs in Wake Up more than a last-minute event roundup is timing. Useful local discovery means telling you about something while there is still time to put it on the calendar, invite people and decide whether it fits the weekend.
City Springs also makes this an easy outing rather than an expedition: the event is built around a walkable civic center with food and entertainment concentrated in one place. The official event page is linked below for the schedule and any updates as October gets closer.
