Kirkwood Spring Fling

Saturday, May 16, 2015

Kirkwood came alive last weekend as thousands of neighbors and visitors invaded Bessie Branham Park for the annual Kirkwood Spring Fling. There was beer, food, a barbeque competition, live music, an artist market, community organizations, and pretty much everything else one would need to enjoy a wonderfully sunny spring/summer day in one of Atlanta’s awesome neighborhoods!
