PULLMAN YARDS TO PREMIERE NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN FOOTAGE FROM HISTORICAL ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL POP FESTIVAL

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 6/9/26

Immersive Experience to Feature Lost Footage from 1970 Event, Live Music and DJs,

Vintage Shopping, Food Trucks, Roller Skating, and More, June 20th, 2026

Limited Early Bird Tickets for ‘That 70s Experience’ Available at Original $16

Often mentioned in the same breath as one of the more recognizable festivals of the time, such as Woodstock, the Isle of Wight, or Summer Jam, is the Alex Cooley-produced Atlanta International Pop Festival.  A giant of its time, with crowd estimates ranging between 150,000 and 600,000 and featuring artists like rock icon Jimi Hendrix, Grand Funk Railroad, B.B. King, and up-and-coming Macon-based The Allman Brothers Band, time has largely forgotten one of the first great rock festivals of the seventies- until now. 

Recently discovered and never-before-seen lost footage, revived through a special archival restoration process, will bring the summer of 1970 roaring back to life. Premiering June 20th at the historic Pullman Yards, the footage will be showcased in a part immersive experience, part music history resurrection, as fans walk through rooms filled with footage from the actual festival.

Dubbed ’That 70s Experience,’ the one-day-only event will transport fans through a portal into the charged time period that danced the line between counterculture and carefree, reckless abandon.  In addition to the curated rooms showcasing the footage from the Atlanta International Pop Festival, activations will be throughout the experience. Fans can rock out to live music and DJ sets, shop retro wares in the vintage market, ink up with an on-site tattoo artist, hit the four-wheeled motion on the roller rink, grab some nosh from the food trucks, have a drink or two, and explore the 70s at their own pace.

Limited Early Bird tickets for That 70s Experience are on sale now at the original, 1970 Atlanta International Pop Festival price of $16 (before fees) for Pullman Yards subscribers. Fans can purchase general admission tickets through the link in Pullman Yards’ Instagram @PrattPullmanDistrict. That 70s Experience is an all-ages event.

Visit www.PullmanYards.com for the most up-to-date information on this and all experiences on the Pullman Yards complex. Pullman Yards is located at 225 Rogers Street NE, Atlanta, Georgia.

Taking place Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12 at the Historic Old Fourth Ward Skatepark Eastside Trail BeltLine, the second annual festival will once again bring together halal cuisine, culture, entertainment, and community for an inclusive weekend celebration in the heart of Atlanta.
 
Hosted by the Atlanta Muslim Festival Collective (AMFC), the organization behind Atlanta’s growing lineup of halal food and cultural festivals including the Atlanta Ramadan Food Festival and Atlanta Halal Fall Festival, the Atlanta Summer Halal Food Festival has quickly become one of the city’s most anticipated multicultural food events. Following strong attendance and community support during its inaugural year, the festival’s expansion reflects AMFC’s continued mission to create large-scale cultural experiences that celebrate diversity, connection, and small businesses throughout metro Atlanta.
 
Located along one of Atlanta’s premier trails with easy access, ample nearby parking, and walkable connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods and businesses, the Historic Old Fourth Ward Skatepark Eastside Trail BeltLine offers an energetic backdrop for the festival experience. Guests can expect a lively outdoor atmosphere featuring an extensive lineup of halal food vendors from across the Southeast, artisan merchants, family-friendly activities, live entertainment, cultural experiences, and more throughout the weekend.
 
“We were truly overwhelmed by the response to our first Atlanta Summer Halal Food Festival and the incredible support from both Muslim and non-Muslim communities across metro Atlanta,” said Hasnain Lakhani, Founder of the Atlanta Muslim Festival Collective, Atlanta restaurateur, and entrepreneur. “Expanding to two days and moving to the BeltLine allows us to continue growing the experience in an even more accessible and vibrant location while creating additional opportunities for small businesses, food vendors, and community partners to participate. Our goal has always been to create welcoming events where everyone can gather, discover incredible food, and celebrate the diversity that makes Atlanta so special.”
 
A longtime metro Atlanta entrepreneur and business owner, Lakhani has helped launch and operate multiple restaurants, hospitality, and community-centered ventures throughout the region. Through AMFC, he has focused on creating large-scale events that not only spotlight halal cuisine and Muslim culture but also provide meaningful opportunities for local entrepreneurs, small businesses, and first-time vendors to connect with new audiences and grow their brands.
 
Festival attendees will once again have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of halal cuisine ranging from global street foods and authentic cultural dishes to desserts, specialty beverages, and modern halal culinary concepts. Like kosher or plant-based cuisine, halal food is something anyone can enjoy, and the festival remains committed to creating an environment that is educational, welcoming, and inclusive for guests of all backgrounds.
 
In addition to food offerings, the Atlanta Summer Halal Food Festival will feature a live DJ, family-friendly games and activities, park access, a dedicated kids’ area, complimentary water stations, photo opportunities, and a vibrant artisan market showcasing local businesses, handmade goods, clothing, art, jewelry, fragrances, and more.

Tickets are now available here. Guests will receive a special festival passport allowing attendees to collect global cuisine stamps inspired by the different countries and cultures represented throughout the festival. Tickets also include customized paper hand fans and RFID wristbands featuring scannable QR codes linked to a complimentary digital photo gallery, serving as both a practical keepsake and memorable souvenir from the event. Final ticket prices will include taxes and fees.
 
The Atlanta Summer Halal Food Festival is proudly supported by community partners, including HUM TV, Cravova, Zakat Foundation of America, and Islamic Relief USA, organizations committed to humanitarian relief, charitable engagement, and strengthening local communities.

WHERE DID OUR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND ROAD TRIP TAKE US?

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 6/1/26

We took a long Memorial Day Weekend Road Trip up north to Clayton, GA, Tallulah Falls, GA, and to Sylva, NC. Let’s explore!

Stop 1

First stop is the beautiful Bridge Creek Inn nestled in the heart of North Georgia’s downtown Clayton. Being Clayton’s Main Street living room. It is THE place to explore local establishments and play in the mountains close by!

In the lobby, step into rustic-modern vibes that permeate the space to match the mountain town. A cozy fireplace in the corner, leather chairs and a couch for relaxing. There is also concrete floor, wood slats on the ceiling, and an unforgettable bear painting! A small coffee shop sits in the lobby for a caffeine boost or a snack during the day. And live music fills the air on Friday night and if you walk down the hall, they have an art gallery of local art!

The rooms are spacious and airy with touches of modern yet rustic headboards, moody dark accent wall, and lake, fishing, and mountain artwork on the walls. The bathroom is inviting, clean, and modern. And outside the windows is a view of downtown Clayton and the mountains surrounding the town.

The Vandiver is the on-site dining option in the lobby. It is an American-style tavern that is a regional culinary journey with dishes from steak to duck and craft cocktails. We got a couple of cocktails, a bread service and two entries, the Duck breast and steak frites.

We started with the corn bread and sorghum butter bread service is fluffy corn bread with sweet creamy butter! My first cocktail is the Auroral, a cantaloupe martini. It has boozy vodka, earthy and sweet cantaloupe, with bright lemon for balance, earthy basil. Our waitress recommended and was surprised by how much I liked it.

For our dinner I got the Duck Breast. It is tender and juicy with sweet sorghum glaze that perfectly pairs with the savory duck, comes with tender sweet potato gnocchi, earthy kalettes, and a tangy blueberry gastrique. I paired my duck with the Vandiver Old fashioned. It is boozy eagle rare 10-year bourbon, sweet bitters, cherry, and an orange twist for balance. John got the streak frites. The steak is charred outside, tender and juicy inside with a bright spicy peppercorn sauce. It is served with crunchy fries with a tangy blue cheese aioli and bright arugula salad!



Stop 2


Our second stop on our road trip was the Tap Yard at Tallulah Adventures. It is only .4 miles away from Tallulah Falls and just south of Clayton, GA. Newly rebranded, they have an outdoor yard for lounging, yard games, playground and climbing wall for the kiddos. Inside, the open-air restaurant has a large fireplace for the winter months, a long bar offering beer and wine, as well as an array of bites from sandwiches to bowls. The perfect stop after visiting the beach or the falls!!

We started with the tart yet refreshing Black Widow Cherry Cider. For our appetizer we got the smoked chicken wings. They were hearty and meaty chicken tossed in a spicy and sweet hot honey sauce.

For lunch we got the Shortline Sandwich and the Burrito Bowl. The sandwich is tender grilled chicken, earthy pesto, garlic aioli, roasted red peppers, tangy pickled onions, and arugula all served hot! It is delicious and served with seasoned fries. The burrito bowl is huge! It is filled with earthy black beans and creamy guac, tender chicken, sharp cheese and lettuce, tangy Pico de Gallo on a bed or rice. I paired the food with their crisp and cool Riesling.


Stop 3

Greetings from Sylva, NC and the Hotel Sylva in the North Carolina mountains! The hotel is in the perfect location to play in the mountains but also stay and enjoy the downtown vibes that Sylva, NC has going on!

Hotel Sylva is a newly renovated downtown hotel in Sylva, NC. It is a comfortable and cozy, a mountain retreat if you will. Outside each room is a pair of rocking chairs, a nod to Americana, leisure, and great for relaxation. The rooms are cozy and have large comfy beds, a beautiful leather headboard, dark blue paneled walls, and a relaxing bathroom. The lobby is also inviting, and they have everything a traveler needs in there if you forget something. Plus, everyone is so friendly from your neighbors to the front desk!

Sylva, NC really was a surprise to me! It is a small town with vibes of bigger cities like Asheville. Their courthouse is perched on a high hill next to the hotel and it is a spectacle! Long steps up to it lined in American flags for the holiday! And the views from the hill are breathtaking with the mountains behind the town! And they have so much to do from record stores and eclectic shops, tons of restaurants to choose from, three breweries, and a few bars as well! We had the best time exploring Sylva.
