Life in Alpharetta, GA
Just a short drive north of Atlanta, Alpharetta is a rapidly growing city that still maintains its small-town charms. This area was first settled in the 1830s, but it has become a major tech and pharmaceutical center that's grown far beyond the wildest dreams of the early gold miners.
ADP and McKesson may employ a lot of people, but that doesn't mean that work is the be-all and end-all in this city. One of the hottest destinations in Alpharetta is Avalon, a large community within the community. This 86-acre hot spot is home to a 12-screen movie theater, scores of fine shopping and dining options and even luxury living spaces.
This city loves its music. The Ameris Bank Amphitheatre holds 12,000 people at a time, and top-quality musicians from across the country and around the world play here throughout the year. In the summer, there are three concert series that take place in the area. The Brooke Street Park Series showcases local talent of all genres while the Chukkar Farm Series is a more soulful affair. The more eclectic folks prefer going to the Under the Pines at Matilda's Series. If you're a jazz fan, you'll love attending a concert at The Velvet Note, which is one of the finest jazz venues in the world according to Downbeat Magazine.
In other artistic fields, you can go see contemporary art at the Othels Gallery, or you can take a walking tour of Downtown and see the incredible statues on display. You can also see locally produced shows at the ACT1 Theater or visit one of the many excellent art studios in the city.
Downtown Alpharetta is full of exciting things to do. Whether you're looking for a long-lost record at Comeback Vinyl or something unique at Sis & Moon's, the shopping is incredible. History buffs will love the Alpharetta History Walk, the Old Milton County Museum and the Devore House.
When it comes to dining options, Alpharetta has the answer to every palate. From high-class dining to the Alpharetta Food Truck Alley XL in the warmer months, you'll be sure to find whatever you're craving.
Finally, the town is full of great festivals no matter what time of year it is. In October, for example, Downtown is lined with over 150 scarecrows to celebrate the Alpharetta Scarecrow Harvest Festival. Also in October, music lovers come from all over Georgia to the Wire and Wood Songwriters Festival.
