Atlanta | Join Me At Kimball House

Weekend Wrap Up: Music City Spirits and Cocktail Festival

It's been another crazy weekend in the Music City. Not only did we have the usual cast of characters: bachelor/bachelorette parties, concert-goers, and tourists, but this weekend we welcomed thousands of visitors from around the country participating in the Rock and Roll Marathon.  I, on the other hand, kept it local and had the chance to see what the Music City Spirits and Cocktail Festival was all about.
