Spring is THE season for festivals in Atlanta. But, with so many events taking place over the next few months, it’s easy to miss your local favorites. To keep you in the loop for this year’s lineup, I’ve compiled a list of the most popular festivals in the metro area.

From arts and crafts markets – to children shows – to music festivals, I think you will agree that there’s a spring festival for everyone in the family. And best of all, many events are free – making them great options if you are on a budget after this month’s spring break trip!

Ready to plan your spring calendar? See below for event locations, hours, schedules, and admission fees (if applicable). And if I have left off one of your favorite Atlanta spring festivals, please let me know! I love sharing this information with you – but I love hearing your feedback even more!
