Getting there, closures and parking

Many streets in Inman Park close to traffic for the festival, and the organizer strongly discourages parking in the neighborhood or nearby. There may be limited parking at the Krog District. Instead:

MARTA: Inman Park/Reynoldstown station is in the heart of the festival.
Beltline: walk or bike in. The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition runs free valet bike parking at Alta Avenue and Euclid Avenue, at Waverly Way and Elizabeth Street, and on Edgewood Avenue between Waddell and Krog streets.
Rideshare or taxi: get dropped off a few blocks away to avoid the backups.

The festival map shows the free shuttle route, bike parking, the parade route, the markets, food and restrooms.

What to know

Pets: not allowed, leashed or not, under City of Atlanta festival ordinances, unless they are part of the program or assist a person with a disability.
Lost and found: the information booth in front of 160 Elizabeth St.
Rain: the parade goes ahead rain or shine.
