From potters & painters to jewelers & woodworkers, the 500+ artists and crafters showcasing their wares at the Yellow Daisy Festival have got you covered if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind piece for your home or a gift.

While admission to the Yellow Daisy Festival is free, parking, unfortunately, is not. For most vehicles, it’s $20, but, you can still get in on the cheap:
You can walk or ride a bike to get in free. We’ve parked in Stone Mountain Village & walked in before, though if we do it again, I think we’d opt to bring the bikes.
If you must drive, spring for the $40 annual permit if you live near Stone Mountain Park & plan to visit at least four times a year, whether to take advantage of free special events or check out the park’s outdoor activities and laser show.
I use these directions to get to the Events Meadow parking lot:
Take Exit 39B off I-285 and go east on HWY 78 to Exit 8 (Stone Mountain Park Main Entrance). After you pay the parking fee, continue straight on Jefferson Davis Drive. At the fork, turn right onto Robert E. Lee Blvd. and then turn right onto North Gate Road. At the stop sign, turn right onto Service Drive. The parking lot is on your left.
