More Than the Mountain: Discover Stone Mountain

When people hear Stone Mountain, one iconic image often comes to mind—but the city itself has so much more to offer.

Yes, Stone Mountain Park draws visitors from around the world with its unforgettable views and outdoor adventure. But beyond the attraction lies a city full of charm, culture, and community that’s worth exploring in its own right.

Step into Stone Mountain Village and you’ll find a walkable downtown filled with local restaurants, unique shops, and historic character that tells the story of the city’s roots. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, connect, and experience DeKalb in a more personal way.

The city is also home to a growing creative and cultural scene, with community events, local businesses, and gathering spaces that bring people together year-round. From live music and festivals to hidden gems waiting to be discovered, Stone Mountain offers an experience that goes beyond what you might expect.

What makes Stone Mountain special isn’t just what you see, it’s what you feel. It’s the blend of history and hospitality, the balance of natural beauty and local flavor, and the sense of community that makes every visit meaningful.

As we celebrate Georgia Cities Week, we’re proud to spotlight Stone Mountain—a city that proves there’s always more to discover beyond the landmark.

Come for the view, stay for the city.
