The Piedmont Park Arts Festival is held in Atlanta’s historic park, Piedmont Park. The park is located approximately 2 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. It runs along 10th Street (a block west of 10th & Monroe Avenue to a block east of 10th & Piedmont Avenue) and Piedmont Avenue (12th & Piedmont to just before 15th & Piedmont) in midtown Atlanta.
Please refer to the map links below to navigate the festival and parking.
Parking: Parking is notoriously difficult around Piedmont Park. The SAGE Parking Garage (located between the park and the Botanical Garden) is the most convenient option, though it fills up quickly. Using a ride-share service (like Uber/Lyft) or taking MARTA to the Midtown or Arts Center stations is highly recommended. We strongly encourage visitors to use Atlanta’s public transportation MARTA.
RIDE SHARE: We do recommend that you use ride share, Uber and Lyft for this event, signs are placed at the Charles Allen Entrance (gate) on 10th and Charles Allen.
Please be respectful and do not park in the surrounding neighborhoods. Do not block driveways, mailboxes or access to any of our community neighbors access to their homes and dwellings.
