Shaky Knees Music Festival
When: May 3-5, 2024
Where: Central Park
This 3-day festival earned the No. 4 spot on USA Today's 10Best Reader's Choice Music Festivals list and was also listed as one of the 50 Must-See Music Festivals in Summer 2015 by Rolling Stone. Featuring both world-renowned acts and up-and-coming artists, the Shaky Knees Festival is Atlanta's proper indie music showcase comparable to Coachella and Bonnaroo. Just "smaller." And more enjoyable (if you ask us.) We say "smaller" because this baby still brings out at least 40,000 people.

Lemonade Days Festival
When: April 19-23, 2024
Where: Brook Run Park
In Dunwoody, we believe that when life gives you lemons, you should make an entire festival out of them. In 1998, an F2 tornado tore through Dunwoody at 150 mph causing much disaster and devastation throughout our beloved city. Not long after, the community banded together to create Lemonade Days, a charity event designed to bring relief to those families affected by the tornado. This beloved five-day festival is complete with more than 30-full scale carnival rides, more than 20 food and beverage vendors, a 5K run, a Made in Dunwoody Country Store, a petting zoo, Dunwoody Idol contest, and lots more if you can believe it! This tragedy-turned-triumph has blossomed into a family festival that brings out more than 80,000 festival-goers - but there's always room for plenty more.
