Artlanta Festival of Culture Lands at Westside Motor Lounge on Oct. 31, 2026
Friday, October 30th, 2026
Atlanta has always had its own ideas about music, style, art and culture. This fall, those ideas take center stage asArtlanta Festival of Culture lands at Westside Motor Lounge on Oct. 31, 2026, for a one-day celebration of the city’s unmistakable creative identity.
The flagship event of the I'M SO ATL™ Citywide Public Art Campaign, Artlanta brings together Atlanta's visual artists, DJs, musicians, collectors and culture makers for an immersive weekend of music and art. From murals and installations to vinyl, 45s, curated DJ sets and full-album listening experiences, the festival is designed around the creative language of the city. This isn't an Atlanta-themed festival. It's an Atlanta festival.
EVENT SCHEDULE
The festivities kick off at 1 p.m. with a Neo Soul Lounge, allowing attendees to catch a vibe with the top hits of the beloved music genre. At 3 p.m. begins the Special Vinyl-Only Tribute to Michael Jackson & Stevie Wonder. Presented through the warmth and texture of analog recordings, the experience invites audiences to slow down, listen deeply and, most importantly, dance.
Two hours later, the festival keeps the sounds going with DJ Kizzy Rock's Old Atlanta Tribute. The evening revisits the records, dances and sounds that shaped the city – moving beyond familiar hits to the deep cuts and songs that defined the people who were actually there.
The flagship event begins at 7 p.m. with I’M SO ATL: The Soundtrack - ATLiens 30 Years Later, commemorating the 30th anniversary of OutKast's landmark, 2x Platinum sophomore album. The complete ATLiens album will be presented unedited and uninterrupted beneath the Atlanta night sky, accompanied by light and projection works created by Atlanta artists. The evening culminates in a journey through the Dungeon Family Musical Catalog, allowing fans to reminisce on the work of the storied Atlanta Hip Hop collective.
OUTKAST x MUNDIAL POP-UP SHOP
The I'M SO ATL™ Public Art Campaign will also host the OUTKAST x MUNDIAL pop-up shop, celebrating 30 years of ATLiens while supporting Atlanta’s next generation through Soccer in the Streets. Artlanta will be the only place to purchase the collaboration’s official gear in person.
