ATLANTA, April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The phrase, 'Taste The World!' now has a new meaning for more than 52,000 metro Atlantans and Southeast area regional travelers. They all were treated to a fun-filled event entitled, ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL NIGHT MARKET (ATLNIGHTMARKET.ORG) this past weekend (April 21st - 23rd) for which a follow-up festival for November 3rd - 5th, 2017 is already in the works. People drove from seven neighboring states to attend this family-friendly 3-day event celebrating diversity, culture, cuisine, and community. Most guests visited on Friday and Saturday, as Sunday was mainly wet with heavy rains.

In the words of one attendee, "If I had to describe this night with one word, it would be 'Magical'. There was such a spirit of unity, and this evening far exceeded my expectations. I'm so proud of this community for showing up, and making this a memorable night for everyone who attended." – Alisha Cole

With a veritable variety of sights and sounds, tasty authentic cuisine from around the world, a kid-zone with multiple carnival rides, costumed characters and much more, an international artisan market, retail vendors, a veggie festival, musical, cultural and dance performances, street performers, this event had something for everyone to enjoy.

Special thanks to all of the event sponsors including Coca-Cola, UPS, Delta Airlines, Georgia Natural Gas, Emory University and so many others who took a leap of faith in supporting this first-time event and to the over 200 volunteers who worked tirelessly through every phase of this project from planning & promotion to working the event.
