Can't get to the beach this summer and miss the feeling of sand between your toes? The city of Decatur, GA (in DeKalb County) has a unique and fun fundraiser for their downtown improvement projects. Every summer they throw a street beach party, trucking in 60 tons of sand. The square downtown turns into a beach for this annual event.This week's party is June 19 from 5 p.m. to midnight. You can dance in the streets to the beach music from the live band and eat beach food. Activities include children's boardwalk games, face painting, wading pools in the sand, and more. Adults $6.50 in advance (click on logo above); $10 at the gate; children 12 and under, free (limit two children per paying adult). No coolers, glass or pets allowed.
After the party, you can take the sand home with you for your own sandbox!
Thanks to Decatur Mom, who says get there right at 5:00 p.m. to get a good space, and bring lots of water!
