What To Do
Free live music isn’t the only reason to enjoy your time in City Springs. You can set up a cozy spot on the green with a picnic blanket and chairs to soak in the spring and summer weather. You can also sip drinks on the swings overlooking the fountains and stroll around the sculpture garden. Bringing some high-energy kids with you? Grab a ball or a disc to throw around before the green gets too crowded, or take a short walk down to Heritage Sandy Springs to have a little more room to run around.
Where To Eat
City Springs is home to a wide variety of food and beverage options for guests. Not only will the city’s own CityBar be selling drinks, but they are also bringing in popular local food trucks for each show. City Springs is also home to onsite restaurants Flower Child, The General Muir, Nam Kitchen, and The Select. Other eateries like Slope’s BBQ, Brooklyn Café, and Zafron are just a short walk away. If you want to dine at a restaurant, we highly recommend securing a reservation. If none of those options strike your fancy, you could also pack your own picnic and dine on the green as the music plays!
How To Get There
City Green is in the heart of Sandy Springs at City Springs. City Springs is located on the west side of Roswell Road between Johnson Ferry Road (north) and Mount Vernon Highway. There’s free parking in the parking deck underneath City Springs, as well as some street parking around the green. If you drive, we highly recommend carpooling to reduce traffic (and to help the environment). If you take MARTA, bus route 87 stops at City Springs from the Sandy Springs railway station, and bus routes 5 and 87 stop at City Springs from the Dunwoody railway stations.
Don’t drive home exhausted! Book a hotel stay for after the show. There are plenty of places to grab breakfast or brunch the next morning, and even more fun things to do in Sandy Springs.
