Festival Guide

Candler Park Fall Fest is a neighborhood-focused arts and community festival held each fall in Atlanta’s Candler Park neighborhood. This wiki page serves as a supporting archive and background page. For current festival dates, schedules, and event details, use the main festival guide above.

Festival Overview

Candler Park Fall Fest is a two-day celebration featuring an artist market, live music, food vendors, a 5K race, and family-friendly programming. The event is known for its relaxed, neighborhood-driven atmosphere and its emphasis on local artists and community participation.

Unlike larger destination festivals, Fall Fest maintains a strong local identity, drawing both neighborhood residents and visitors for a walkable, park-centered experience.

Festival History

Candler Park Fall Fest reflects the long-standing tradition of neighborhood festivals in Atlanta’s intown communities. The event is organized by the Candler Park Neighborhood Organization and serves as a fundraiser supporting local initiatives, programming, and community improvements.

The current Fall Fest format exists alongside the legacy of the Candler Park Music Festival, which previously operated as a separate spring/summer event focused on national touring acts and large-scale music programming. That festival was last held in 2022.

Music Festival Legacy

The Candler Park Music Festival was a ticketed, music-focused event that featured national touring acts and operated separately from Fall Fest. While it shared the same park setting, it was distinct in scale, structure, and purpose.

This archive page includes coverage of both events, but the primary current festival is Candler Park Fall Fest.
