The 1st annual Chamblee Art Fest launches this weekend!

UPDATE: We received notice that the Sunday festival is CANCELED, due to the inclement weather being forecast. There is no Chamblee Art Fest on Sunday, April 21st. Go on Saturday! It’s open till 6.

The City of Chamblee is launching a brand new spring arts festival, inside the Perimeter! The first annual Chamblee Arts Fest takes place on Saturday, April 20th and Sunday, April 21st, 2024.

This is a street festival, with booths lining Peachtree Road in downtown Chamblee, from the MARTA Station to the intersection of American Way. (The streets will be closed to traffic.)

This means you can get there on MARTA, and when you step off your train at Chamblee Station, the festival is just steps away!

Over 100 artisans and makers will be on site.
There will also be food trucks with festival cuisine, a kid zone, strolling musicians, and more.

Festival Hours
Saturday: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sunday: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Getting to downtown Chamblee

If you live anywhere on the Gold Line, MARTA is a no-brainer.
Get off at Chamblee Station, then follow the signs pointing to the buses (not to Chamblee Tucker Rd) to exit the platform. In the middle of the station, one level below, you’ll find a short covered walkway that is marked Peachtree Rd. This is the shortest walk to the festival. 

NEW open container policy!

Chamblee becomes the latest municipality in the Atlanta metro area to allow outdoor alcohol consumption in its entertainment district!

Starting June 1, 2023, you can purchase alcohol from a licensed establishment in downtown Chamblee and carry it with you, as long as you adhere to the ordinance guidelines.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Hours for outdoor alcohol consumption are 9 a.m to 10 p.m.
• Open containers are prohibited outside those hours.
• You still must be 21 or older to purchase alcohol.
• Alcohol-licensed restaurants will dispense your drink in a clearly marked plastic cup.
• Beer and wine cannot exceed 16 fluid ounces; for distilled spirits it’s 12 ounces.
• You cannot bring your own alcohol to the city for open container consumption.

Dining in downtown Chamblee

In case you don’t know, downtown Chamblee has shrugged off its “Antique Row” reputation to become a bustling restaurant scene. Take advantage of these dining options, all located within a walkable area:
