When the weather warms up and the flowers and trees begin to bloom, Atlantans know that we can count on having a handful of festivals to choose from every weekend. From Inman Park to Alpharetta, Decatur to Downtown, it seems that every neighborhood has its own signature celebration that draws thousands of people to a single park, street, or city block every year.

While themes of the area’s festivals vary widely – holidays, food items, and local flora & fauna all take a turn in the spotlight – they do have a number of things in common: they provide locals and out-of-towners alike with the opportunity to come together over a common subject to enjoy and benefit the host community. Providing festivalgoers with a place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the event is a duty that all festival committees share, and one that is particularly important during the hot, sunny Saturdays that characterize an Atlanta summer. Setting up tables topped with promotional umbrellas is a great way to make sure that attendees stick around and enjoy themselves.

Trees, tents, and promotional umbrellas can all provide some much-appreciated relief from sunshine (and rain) within festival grounds, allowing visitors to take a break without having to miss any sights and sounds – at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival’s Beer Garden, pictured above, festivalgoers could enjoy their food and drinks underneath Corona Light promotional umbrellas near the event’s main stage.

Atlanta’s biggest Fourth of July tradition will be back and bigger than ever in 2011: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race 10k has expanded its field to include 60,000 participants, all of whom are invited to vote for this year’s custom t-shirt design.

Each year, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution solicits designs for the official custom t-shirt of the Peachtree Road Race, from which five finalists are chosen. Votes from race participants and supporters determine which design will be featured on the shirts that runners and walkers receive in the bag of goodies that awaits them just across the finish line in Piedmont Park.

The official race t-shirt is offered exclusively to the participants who complete the  10k (6.2 mile) course through the Buckhead neighborhood and Midtown Atlanta, and is the sole motivation for many individuals’ entrance into the registration lottery.

Going on nine years, Action Cycling Atlanta has been the producer of AIDS Vaccine 200, a 2-day, 200-mile cycling event that benefits AIDS vaccine research at Emory Vaccine Center.

As a dedicated promotional products supplier for Emory University, Pinnacle Promotions was eager to support and promote Emory Vaccine Center’s efforts to develop a vaccine for HIV/ AIDS. We were presented with the opportunity to do so in February when Emory hosted Spin to End, Action Cycling Atlanta’s indoor cycling fundraiser to benefit the AIDS Vaccine 200 event in May. The Pinnacle team contributed custom-designed promotional products for the event, including t-shirts, carabiners, and whistles.
