Ormewood Park Meet the Makers Festival

By Wendy Gill
The Ormewood Park Civic Association (OPCA) has organized its very first neighborhood festival. Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 25. At the Ormewood Park Meet the Makers Festival 2017, makers from all over Atlanta will gather to share their love of making. It will celebrate innovators, musicians, creators and designers, crafters, educators, tinkerers, food artisans, hobbyists, engineers, and artists. Presenting sponsors include Red Robin Realtors and Eventide Brewing. The OP Meet the Makers Festival provides an opportunity for people to gather, connect as a community, and explore their inner “maker.” It is part arts festival, part crafts fair, and part something entirely new for the whole family.
