It’s Festival Season in Atlanta! Here are some of the festivals we attended to build connections and sell t-shirts! New Threads, a t-shirt company dedicated to helping us raise money recently launched and now you can buy their amazing designs online! If you weren’t able to meet us at one of these incredible festivals, you can shop HERE. Read on to learn more about our adventures over the past month:


Clarkston Culture Fest
“​The Clarkston Culture Fest aims to highlight the best of what Clarkston has to offer, and to share it with others. Festival goers also gained appreciation of the various foods, music, languages, vendors and activities.”​

Beginning last year, New Expression​ Clarkston headed up the mural making booth at the fest. NXP​ also performed onstage and a few volunteers participated in the Run for Refugees 5k.​ To learn more about the festival and see some highlights from it click HERE.​

​Alif Institute ​Arab Festival
​”​Enjoy a week-end filled with Arabic flavors, sights and sounds! Enjoy unique live performances on the stage. Embark on a culinary tour at the Arab world food court.“

Something New volunteers sold shirt with meaningful messages and got the chance to learn about Arab ​c​ulture. ​The Arab Fest was a beautiful display of unity and diversity. Learn more about the Arab Festival and Alif Institute HERE​.

4​20 SweetWater Festival
420 SweetWater Festival: April wouldn’t be complete without 420. Some incredible art came out of New Threads t-shirt designs ​for this festival.

While volunteers sold tshirts, Something New also participated in a Corn Hole competition to raise money for the organization. We came close to winning the prize and are gearing up for next year. Check out more about the festival and how it supports local Atlanta charities HERE.​

Inman Park Festival
“During the last full weekend in April each year, Inman Park proudly presents a neighborhood festival widely regarded as Atlanta’s most spirited and eclectic.​” ​

As the final festival we attended in April, the Inman Park Festival was a full emersion into Atlanta culture!
