Due to pleasant weather and a variety of things to do and see, March through May is the best time to visit Atlanta. Spring boasts moderate prices, slow tourism, and a bunch of unforgettable events: from Atlanta Caribbean Carnival to Shaky Knees Music Festival. June through August, Atlanta turns into intolerably hot and humid Hotlanta. But the Atlanta Ice Cream Festival is right on cue to help you cool down. Though strong winds and rain might take place, summer is the peak season, so the earlier you book, the better. September through November is bliss to explore Atlanta. Despite common thunderstorms, the temps are mild enough for having fun at North Georgia State Fair or supporting Atlanta Pride. If you are looking for a bargain, traveling to Atlanta from December to February might be a jackpot as the prices are at their lowest. Just keep in mind that winters are harsh with possible ice storms, so dress in layers to enjoy Christmas lights around Atlanta.
