Representin’ the west side of midtown Atlanta, WestFest 2009 kicks off Saturday, September 26th:

The festival was originally scheduled for Saturday, September 19th, but moved to next weekend due to an unusually rain-filled weather forecast, giving us all plenty of time to practice our Westside faux gang signs and for me to figure out how I’ve managed to live on this side of 75/85 interstate connector for so long never having heard of this celebration.

Vendors attending WestFest include: 6 Feet Under, Sweetwater Brewing Company, Octane Coffee Bar and Lounge, and Sublime Donuts. Atlanta Brewing Company will also be there, along with Hop City, who will be educating denizens on the fine art of home brewing.

Entertainment will be provided the lovely people of Relapse Theatre, who will be showcasing their improv and comedy skills from 1pm-3:30pm. The early evening will then bring performances from local musicians, including Shanghai Gesture.

On top of all this, there will be free on-site parking, children’s activities all day long, and $4 beers!
