Atlanta art and music scene will converge once again this year at the Summer Shade Festival at Grant Park. The one-day event is slated for Saturday, August 28 from 12 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.
So, bring your blanket, bring the whole family, but don’t bring any pets, and spend summer’s final weekend at the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival.
Some of the youngest visitors will be able to run and play with abandon at this year’s festival. An extensive lineup of performers, artists, storytellers and musicians will grace the kid’s stage. There will also be craft activities for those who like to keep their hands busy!
The Grant Park Summer Shade Festival will feature a Elsewhere Brewing benefit, with live music by Grasshound band from 7pm-10pm, featuring brand new beer release “Grant Park Menagerie,” a Belgian hoppy ale, and $1 from every beer sold today!
Like every year, the festival will kick off early Saturday with the Adams Realtors Run for the Park 5K. There will be a tot trot and a stroller race and runners will be awarded by age group. The funds raised will go to support the Grant Park Conservancy.
