From these photos, you might not believe it, but there are people who live in Hamilton County who have never been to Atlanta’s New Earth Festival. That tiny little slice of Americana, population 700-ish, swells to over 60,000 for two glorious days of this late September festival. This year, though our photographer felt like he might have to elbow his way past people just to get down ONE street, someone told him that she thought this festival was a little light.
