Yes, of Sparta.
Artemis' city is often associated with Ephesus in ancient Greece. Ephesus was known for its Temple of Artemis, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Artemis was a prominent goddess in Greek mythology, embodying aspects of the hunt, wilderness, and fertility.
Every one mostly Crete and Sparta. Somtimes in Athens
Artemis is the patron goddess of the Hunt. She gives her aid to women in childbirth. She protects maidens and animals. She is the patron of the city Sparta.
The patron goddess of Sparta was Artemis, the Greek goddess of the Hunt.
Sparta favored her aspects as a goddess who looked out for youth.
The two main Gods of Sparta are Ares (Roman: Mars) and Artemis (Roman: Diana). http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/prehistory/aegean/thecities/sparta.html http://www.makeitcrete.com/crete_mythology.html
According to the Callimachus Hymn to Artemis, the goddess Artemis rarely goes to cities. She prefers to stay in the wild and spend her time hunting. The only reason she would visit cities was to help women in childbirth. So it is unlikely that Artemis would have a favorite city. However, she is the patron of Sparta, and Ephesus and a huge temple in her honor.
Artemis was certainly known in Sparta, but it is likely no celebration was writen of, those being a part of cults and perhaps a mystery - so forbidden from being discribed.
Actually, the Spartans worshipped Artemis and Aresthe most. Athena was not their patron goddess. She was the patron of Athens, Sparta's rival.
