Where: Central Park

This 3-day festival earned the No. 4 spot on USA Today's 10Best Reader's Choice Music Festivals list and was also listed as one of the 50 Must-See Music Festivals in Summer 2015 by Rolling Stone. Featuring both world-renowned acts and up-and-coming artists, the Shaky Knees Festival is Atlanta's proper indie music showcase comparable to Coachella and Bonnaroo. Just "smaller." And more enjoyable (if you ask us.) We say "smaller" because this baby still brings out at least 40,000 people.

Das Atlanta Film Festival ist eines der größten und ältesten Filmfestivals im Südosten der Vereinigten Staaten. Mehr als 25.000 Festivalbesucher sehen jedes Jahr Independent-, Animations-, Dokumentar- und Kurzfilme.

Where: Brook Run Park

In Dunwoody, we believe that when life gives you lemons, you should make an entire festival out of them. In 1998, an F2 tornado tore through Dunwoody at 150 mph causing much disaster and devastation throughout our beloved city. Not long after, the community banded together to create Lemonade Days, a charity event designed to bring relief to those families affected by the tornado. This beloved five-day festival is complete with more than 30-full scale carnival rides, more than 20 food and beverage vendors, a 5K run, a Made in Dunwoody Country Store, a petting zoo, Dunwoody Idol contest, and lots more if you can believe it! This tragedy-turned-triumph has blossomed into a family festival that brings out more than 80,000 festival-goers - but there's always room for plenty more.

Wann: April 20-21, 2024

Where: Centennial Olympic Park

At its core, this festival is all about music, beer, and the environment. Sweetwater 420 Fest brings live music, comedy, art, food, workshops, and brews to Centennial Olympic Park. What started as a small celebration by Georgia's native Sweetwater Brewery has now evolved into a weekend bash appreciating Mother Earth and all the good things she has to offer the world.
