In Person | East Atlanta Village Farmers Market
FREE
This Jane’s Walk, taking place in East Atlanta Village, focuses on themes of Art & Architecture, Food & Entertainment, and History & Culture.
How much history can one neighborhood hold?
Join Anna Brady, a longtime East Atlanta resident and former Director of Arts and Culture for the East Atlanta Community Association, for a walk through the layers of East Atlanta Village (EAV).
The route hits the Battle of Atlanta, the Madison Theater, the EAV sign, murals, ABV Gallery, The Flatiron Building, The Earl, and a handful of historical plaques — all within about a half mile of the Farmers Market where the walk begins and ends.
