The Atlanta Jazz Festival is a Class A Festival, which means there are a number of rules and ordinances in place to help keep us all safe in a large festival environment.
We love our furfriends too, but we must all leave our dogs, cats, ponies, and mini-pigs at home, whether they are leashed or not. This applies to the festival footprint only; the Piedmont Park Dog Park will remain open as usual.
Grilling is prohibited in all areas of the park during the festival. We recognize this is a huge change from previous years. Piedmont Park will be back open to the public on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28, 2018, so that you may return to the park and enjoy the holiday and the grills with your loved ones.
There can be no solicitation, passing of handbills/flyers, or any sales activities except with written permission.
While you are welcome to bring your own food and beverages, please be sure to transfer your items to a shatter-proof container, as glass containers are prohibited in parks.
The City of Atlanta passed an ordinance banning smoking in public parks. This includes, “inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying any lighted tobacco product including cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco.”
Tents cannot be staked into the ground in order to secure them. Sandbags are one safe alternative. Tent footprint may not exceed 10′ x 10′.
Class A Festival ordinances also prohibit use of motorized vehicles, except for those required for ADA mobility and for use by emergency and festival personnel. No skateboard, roller-skate, bicycle, motorcycle, or moped riding is allowed during event times. The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition will have a FREE bike valet located in Piedmont Park on 10th Street near Park Tavern to safely store your bicycles during the festival.
No playing of portable radios, musical instruments or similar devices that are plainly audible to others in the park, unless part of event programming.
Please place all litter in designated receptacles. There are waste and recycling bins located all over the park. Use them. Seriously. This is a polite reminder (and another city ordinance!)
Lost and found (including children) is located at the Lost and Found Tent.
The following park entrances are wheelchair accessible: 12th Street Gate; 14th Street Gate; Charles Allen Drive Gate; Park Drive. Please note that festival visitors should bring their own wheelchairs, canes, etc. The festival does not provide wheelchairs or walking aids.
The Atlanta Jazz Festival is proud to support our local artists, artisans and entrepreneurs. Between musical performances, patrons always find their way to the Artist Market, where they look forward to scouting rare finds and collectible artwork.

Please note that glass containers and all grills (including electric, propane and charcoal) are prohibited during the festival.

There are LOTS of food vendors near all of the stages throughout the park to satisfy your hunger.
