Hundreds of runners, many in somewhat strange costumes and plenty wearing mustaches, braved the rain and participated in the Stache Dash 5k through the streets of Buckhead.

What a weekend! Cinco de Mayo, Bark in the Park, Shaky Knees Festival

Even the rain couldn't stop the fun this weekend as Atlanta played host to a number of Cinco de Mayo events, dogs headed to Turner Field for Bark in the Park and shaky knees were dancing in the mud.

 
  • Where can you find a cigar room with a lion rug, a $25,000 guitar as a wall decoration and a cappuccino room? It's all under one roof at the Atlanta Symphony Associates' Decorators Show House and Gardens.
  • Set on a Buckhead estate, the 2013 show house and gardens is a grand chateau inspired by the great architecture of France.
  • The house is considered to be one of William T. Baker's finest works and is a testament to the fine craftsmanship and tasteful detailing characteristic of Baker's architecture.
  • The house is entirely clad in French limestone and, with its slate roof and zinc dormers, is a faithful interpretation of the great houses found outside Paris.
  • The exciting interiors incorporate architectural antiques such as leaded windows, French paneling, and marble mantles. The wood parquet floors and casement windows with their decorative cremone bolts complete the effect.
  • With more than 18,000 square feet of space, the house has plenty of area to explore.
  • The symphony brought in more than 30 of the area's top designers to transform the home. And now that their work is done, the home is open for tours. Tours for the 43rd annual Decorators Show House and Garden are Tuesdays-Sundays through May 12. It's $25 to tour the house.
  • Proceeds from the tour benefit the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's educational and community programs. Each year, those programs aid more than 63,000 kids and their families from around the Atlanta area.
  • From the grand staircase to the wine cellar, the living room to the child's bedroom; there's an array of amazing areas to check out.
