THE FESTIVAL & ITS IMPACT
The annual Spring Fling Festival & Tour of Homes showcases Atlanta's historic & vibrant Kirkwood neighborhood. Join thousands of residents from throughout the metro area in Bessie Branham Park for a day of sun, fun and community. Everyone is ready to get out, party, and celebrate with friends they've missed the past year.
The Spring Fling is the primary fundraiser for the Kirkwood Neighbors Organization (KNO), a 501c3 dedicated to strengthening the local community. Festival proceeds are used to fund efforts ranging from school & park improvements to resident-assistance programs like Adopt-a-Senior and Neighbor in Need.
