"Being in our hometown, this gave us a great opportunity to showcase our company and southern hospitality."

The show returned to Atlanta after being held in Orlando, Dallas, Miami, and Phoenix. Proud of their hometown, Aventure gave away Atlanta-related items at its booth, including discounts to local restaurants.
