Shopping Fun in Decatur

Everyone deserves to feel like a star. So, pamper yourself with a day of relaxation, beauty and perhaps a new pair of shoes.
- Start your morning off with a visit to one of Decatur’s fine spa locations. While there, treat yourself to a new hairstyle and relax under the expert hands of a masseuse. Don’t forget a manicure and pedicure. You’ll feel like a movie star as you head out to shop.
- Stop for a quick bite of lunch at one of Decatur’s many restaurants.
- Compliment your new look by setting out to find a perfect outfit. The Decatur Mall and various retailers carry the latest trends in clothing, ensuring that you will have no problem finding a spectacular outfit. Splurge on a pair of new shoes and a purse.
- Continue your shopping spree at the many specialty and antique shops in the Historic District to find the perfect necklace or antique brooch to finish off your outfit.
- Return to the hotel to rest and change into your new outfit.
- Finish your evening off having dinner in the Old Decatur Historic area and taking in a play or show at the Princess Theatre downtown.

A record year for artists, a permanent piece of art going up downtown, and the story of how a fine arts festival took root. Every October, something happens downtown that did not used to happen here. The courthouse lawn fills up, artists unload their vans, and for two days, a few thousand people wander downtown Decatur with no agenda beyond looking at beautiful things and talking to the people who made them. Most of them go home carrying something they had no intention of buying when they woke up that morning.

Rock the South is known for its lively music, hosting the biggest stars on country radio, and for being the biggest party in the south, but there’s more to experience this year than the music. The Midway Fair brings classic carnival fun to the festival, giving visitors a chance to continue the fun in between artists’ sets!
