For more than a decade, Atlantans have flocked to the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival at the end of each August. The two-day outdoor event offers a fun-filled way to bid adieu to summer with a celebration of music and art. Kicking off with a 5K Run for the Park, then delivering plenty to eat and drink, the Summer Shade Festival welcomes thousands to the city’s oldest park.
