Stone Mountain Park near Atlanta, Georgia is fun to visit any time of the year. It’s fun to climb when the weather is warm.
But it’s also fun other times of the year when they have fun festivals. There’s the Pumpkin Festival in the fall. Stone Mountain Park Christmas is fun during the holiday season.
And this year, they have a brand new festival! This year, there is a Lunar New Year Festival at Stone Mountain Park.
The Lunar New Year Festival started last weekend. But if you didn’t attend, don’t worry. It’s open again this weekend. You can visit from January 27, 2023, through January 29, 2023.
I’ll tell you about some of the great festivities at the event.
