Parking is available at Church of Atlanta Lighthouse, 1380 Boulevard SE, Atlanta, GA 30315, which is a short walk from the festival

Question: Is the festival family-friendly?

Absolutely! We’ll have a great kids zone for the kids to enjoy, delicious food, and tasty adult beverages so everyone can enjoy the festival! Even your (well-behaved, on leash) pup is welcome!

Question: How do I purchase beer, wine, or cocktails?

We will have one alcohol tent at the festival, between the Harvest Craft Market and the music stage, serving Round Trip Brewing beer, Archer Roose wine, Wild Basin seltzer, and Athletic Free Wave Hazy IPA (non-alcoholic) beer. The volunteers at each tent will check your ID before a sale and attach a wristband for subsequent visits. From there, they’ll process your transaction via a Square Credit Card terminal. Easy as that! Note, cash is not accepted, but all credit cards and digital payment methods are accepted (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay). Tips from beverage sales benefit the Benteen Park Fall Fest.

The festival is completely free to attend! Come out and enjoy, but be sure to support our vendors attending the festival and get some holiday shopping out of the way early

Yourself, family and friends, a hearty appetite, and a festive spirit! Don’t forget blankets or chairs to enjoy the festival entertainment.

Outside food and beverages are not allowed (except for drinking water). Our vendors appreciate you supporting them during the festival, and proceeds from the sale of beer, wine and cocktails are reinvested into our community.

Question: Is the festival pet-friendly?

City of Atlanta Class E festivals permit dogs, but we ask you to only bring your furry friend if they are able to tolerate the experience of a festival and are well-behaved on leash. All pets must be leashed at all times and festival patrons are responsible for the actions of their pets.
