Kirkwood's biggest annual event is back. The 23rd annual Spring Fling Festival and Tour of Homes returns to Bessie Branham Park on Saturday, May 16.

The festival has been a Kirkwood tradition for over two decades, drawing neighbors and visitors to one of east Atlanta's most walkable neighborhoods. The event combines a community festival atmosphere with the popular Tour of Homes, which gives attendees a look inside some of Kirkwood's most interesting houses.

For the SE BeltLine corridor, Kirkwood Spring Fling marks the unofficial start of the outdoor festival season, which runs through the fall with events across the eastside neighborhoods.
