Westside Motor Lounge Hosts Mental Awakening Fest 2026

From the venue:

Westside Motor Lounge welcomes the return of Mental Awakening, a two-day festival filled with live music, local art, and community spirit, on Friday, March 27, and Saturday, March 28. Presented by Crawfish For A Cause, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for mental health and suicide prevention, the annual event brings together music lovers, artists, and advocates for an unforgettable weekend — all in support of critical mental health initiatives in the Atlanta area. Now in its sixth year, Mental Awakening has grown from a backyard gathering with just two bands into a multi-day festival that draws over 2,000 attendees, showcases a dozen bands, and raises thousands of dollars to support local nonprofits working directly with individuals, schools, and treatment centers across the community. Saturday's signature crawfish boil is always a hot ticket, and servings are limited. Tickets are on sale now, including single-day and weekend passes, with an option to pre-purchase crawfish servings on Saturday for $14.95, plus taxes and fees.
