Featuring more than 350 artists from across the United States, Stone Mountain Park’s 54th annual Yellow Daisy Festival will take place Sept. 8-11. Voted one of the top arts and crafts shows in the nation by Sunshine Artist Magazine, a Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Event, and winner of multiple awards by the Southeast Festival and Events Association, the event is a tradition for multi-generational shoppers searching for unique works of art.
New in 2022, visit the Yellow Daisy Vintage Village! Located within the lower meadow of Yellow Daisy Festival, this highly curated village of vendors from across the globe will showcase antiques, vintage collectibles, and amazing farmhouse chic home goods and décor.
The Yellow Daisy Festival gets its name from the September blooming of a special type of yellow daisy which only grows within 60 miles of Stone Mountain. First discovered in 1846, Viguiera Porteri, grows in bright bands of yellow on the granite outcroppings of the mountain.
The first Yellow Daisy Festival took place at Stone Mountain Park in two picnic pavilions. Over half a century later, it is the Southeast’s largest outdoor arts and crafts festival with more than six acres of art, crafts, music, and food to explore.
Over 350 festival crafters and artists are selected from a pool of applicants by the Yellow Daisy Festival jury to display their distinctive handmade work in categories including pottery, fabric, painting, jewelry, sculpture, fiber, photography, fine arts, and traditional arts and crafts.

An all-new beer garden will offer a place to rest, relax, and refresh before venturing out to discover more hand-crafted wares.

I heard wonderful things about the audio drama called Jonathan Park – The Adventure Begins Series 1 since my older kids were little. We were finally able to check out these cds in the past few months and now I regret not trying them out sooner!
This 4-CD Series pack includes over five hours of audio adventures! The Original Series contains nine albums and is recommended for ages 7-13. In each album, you will hear as Jonathan and his friends travel around the world and find evidence of creation according to the Bible.
Audio dramas are basically like story-telling with sound effects and different character voices. Unlike an audio book, audio dramas include everything you need to hear in order to feel like you are present with what is happening. You may hear waves crashing on the beach, wind blowing, water dripping, footsteps, and more.
While running from a storm, Jonathan and his father collide with the Brenan family as they seek shelter in a hidden cave. After discovering a massive dinosaur graveyard, these two families combine forces to build a creation science museum to spread the message of the Creator!
We listened to Jonathan Park when we were traveling to and from the beach in Florida. It was a fantastic way to pass the hours on the road and made the time fly by while we were driving. The whole family enjoyed the series! My 7 year old absolutely loved listening to the characters and their friends as they found the dinosaur skull. There were several points made about dinosaurs and the Bible that we hadn’t considered and it made for a wonderful time of discussion with our children. Since our trip, the kids have taken turns listening to the adventures of Jonathan as they go to sleep or during family quiet time. I’ve heard them bring up several points from the series in conversations with others! Although we are new to Jonathan Park, I believe other albums will be on the Christmas lists this upcoming holiday season!
The Adventure Begins (Series 1) is currently discounted by nearly 60% on website! You can score free shipping in the US when you use code jpcrew22.

My kids enjoy listening to audio dramas for bedtime and in the car. For the last several weeks, my kids have been listening to The Adventum, Volume 1 as they get ready to sleep.
The Adventum is an audio adventure series that features powerful music, over 50 actors, and amazing sound effects so that you feel like you are actually present at Bible events. In Volume 1, your family can experience Adam walking in the garden, Noah building the ark, and Abraham taking Isaac to be sacrificed. This volume is over 4 hours long. There are 4 cds in this set so siblings can share and listen to separate cds at the same time. Digital downloads are also available if that is what you prefer.
The three-fold objective of The Adventum is to:
I was impressed with The Adventum audio series. This review is the first time I’ve heard of this company and I’m glad we had the opportunity to check it out. My 4 younger kids (ages 15-6) listened to the adventures and all gave it a “thumbs up”.
Here’s what my 11 year old had to say about The Adventum:
I thought it was a nice cd to listen to because it had good descriptions for the people of the Bible and made it sound real. It also was neat to hear and learn more about God! It had fun voices for the characters in the stories. I want to ask for more of these for Christmas.
I think given the feedback from my daughter and from the rest of my kids, these will definitely be on the Christmas list and even be a great option to gift to others. It’s always great to have something to listen to that teaches God’s word and is fun!
The Adventum is currently on sale for $19.99, down from $39.99 – a 50% savings! You can score free shipping (US only) with discount code advcrew22.
