he Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau welcomes you to Alpharetta, Georgia where visitors from around the world come to experience what residents live every day. We are your one-stop shop for everything to do and see in Alpharetta. Stop in our Welcome Center or visit awesomealpharetta.com to see what event is coming up or to learn about the complimentary event planning resources we offer. We like to think Alpharetta has it all – from tasty culinary experiences to award-winning biking trails to a long list of well-known attractions. The momentum keeps growing as new restaurants, shops and attractions pop up all around the city and new events name Alpharetta as their home. With all the family-friendly festivals and events going on throughout the year it’s no wonder why Southern Living named Alpharetta one of the South's Friendliest Cities in 2018. On any given weekend, you can find yourself wandering around the Farmers Market, getting lost in fascination at an art gallery, sipping from a glass of wine at a chef-driven restaurant, taking a cooking class from a famous chef at one of two cooking schools, grabbing roller blades and racing down the Big Creek Greenway or taking a day off and relaxing at one of Alpharetta’s rejuvenating spas.
