And one thing to be aware of during the dance weekend: Saturday afternoon (12:30-4:30 pm) is the Decatur Wine Festival, held one block away on Decatur Square. Parking will be hard to find! We encourage you to use the free parking at First United Methodist Church, 2 blocks away at N. Candler Street and Commerce Drive. There may also be parking across Commerce in the former Kroger parking lot. Of course there’s lots of paid parking if you can’t find a free space.
