20th Annual Grant Park Conservancy Summer Shade Festival
It’s time to bid adieu to summer at the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival! After celebrating 20 years of the beloved festival (complete with an “unFestival” last year), this year’s event welcomes you BACK IN THE PARK!
2022 Event Details

August 27th – 28th

As always, proceeds from this year’s event benefit the Grant Park Conservancy, the organization responsible for maintaining the city’s oldest park.

Event Highlights
Adams Realtors Run for the Park 5k
August 27th
What better way to kick off the weekend than with a scenic run through the historic Grant Park neighborhood? Runners, walkers and strollers are welcome to participate with a tot trot and a stroller race! Awards will be presented by age group.
The Food
New in 2022: Due to the completion of the Atlanta Zoo construction, the festival footprint will return to a similar layout of years ago, but with a slightly smaller footprint due to the pandemic’s effect on festival traffic. While accommodating as many food vendors as possible, there will be a reduction in this year’s vendor lineup. Guests can still expect an incredible variety of flavors and flare!
Kids Zone
Free for kids of all ages, the activities at the Kids Zone include sensory tables filled with water beads and moon sand, spin art masterpiece stations, magic, and instrument making. Tickets and wristbands are also available for purchase to enjoy the Bungee Trampoline, a challenge on the obstacle course, play at the toddler’s playland, and the giant slide!
The Music – Lineup TBA
