Decatur downsizes for Tiny House Festival
Sunflowers sit on the counter in a tiny home, converted from a school bus. The owner converted the entire bus himself but still finds that the home is a continuous piece of work.
The Decatur Tiny House Festival brought tiny living to Atlanta on Saturday, Sept. 29, and Sunday, Sept. 30. The festival took place from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Electric Place in Downtown Decatur. It featured tiny house construction companies and homeowners showcasing their tiny houses to visitors, food vendors and trucks, and industry experts speaking on the tiny house industry. Tickets were $20 in advance and $25 at the door for a day pass and $35 in advance and $40 at the door for a weekend pass.
