Decatur Brings the Cool in Summer!

Stir crazy? Decatur is here to help you get out of the house and back into the world with health and safety in mind.

Many dining spots have opened their doors and patios, some are open for takeout, curbside pick-up, and delivery. Retail shops have carefully opened for shopping, or by appointment, or online only.

We Still Have a Festival for That

Yes, we have to keep the streets clear, and gatherings are out, but Decatur still brings the arts with the Decatur Arts Festival 2020 juried Fine Arts Exhibition. See it online at decaturartsfestival.com. In September the acclaimed Book As Art exhibition returns in an online or contact-free, by-appointment format. Stay tuned — Decatur’s acclaimed event and festival planners continue to brainstorm innovative, creative ways to celebrate music, the arts, dance, comedy, theater, summer, craft beer, wine and more.

Staycation Decatur!

Book an upscale stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites or the Marriott Courtyard Decatur. Both are on Clairemont Avenue just a short block north of the square, ready to welcome you with continuously sanitized, contact-free hospitality.
