Spring festival season in Atlanta generally kicks off around March first, and continues through Memorial Day weekend — and then it’s summer festival season!
This is the most complete list you’ll find for spring festivals around the extended metro area. It covers the months of March, April, and May, and it includes food festivals, music festivals, arts festivals, fairs, and carnivals.
At the bottom of the page is a longer, day-by-day list of seasonal events that includes festivals, spring markets, food truck rallies, nature walks, outdoor concerts and movies, yoga in the park, Easter egg hunts, plus more.
Most spring festivals are FREE to attend, unless otherwise noted. But you’ll want to bring your wallet for food and drink, and other purchases.
Did you know? We also have a big list of Atlanta summer festivals and a humongous list of Atlanta fall festivals.
