Sweetwater 420 Fest 2019

SweetWater 420 Fest

In 2019, the SweetWater 420 Fest celebrates a 15-year legacy as one of Atlanta's most eclectic Earth Day celebrations. The festival brings thousands of boozy merry-goers to Downtown’s Centennial Olympic Park April 19-21, for three days of live music, jam bands of the highest order, earth-friendly activities, stand-up comedy, food trucks, SweetWater brews, an artist market, and more. This year’s lineup features performances by Widespread Panic, the Avett Brothers, the Claypool Lennon Delirium, John Medeski’s Mad Skillett, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Ployd, and dozens more musical acts and comedians spread across five stages throughout the weekend.
