For more than a decade, Atlanta art and music lovers have flocked to Grant Park each August to bid adieu to summer at the Summer Shade unFestival. This year we are mixing things up, to keep everyone safe while still enjoying art, music, food, and more. Follow us on Facebook & Instagram for alerts and all programming happening throughout the day.
