The festival offers two exciting days of fine art, live music, cultural performances, a pet parade, silent auction, chalk art competition, 10K and 5K races, educational programming, children’s rides, gourmet and festival food options, and much more.

 Sandy Springs Festival
The Sandy Springs Festival has grown from a small picnic to a major event drawing 30,000 attendees. As the primary fundraiser for Heritage Sandy Springs - the nonprofit organization that saved the original “sandy springs” and is dedicated to promoting history, stewarding a community park, and enhancing the cultural identity of Sandy Springs - this celebrated community tradition has something for everyone. This year, festival-goers will enjoy a streamlined festival footprint – complete with an interactive online map, an enhanced entertainment schedule – with local favorites like Banks & Shane and Sam Burchfield, and a new area tailor-made just for Dad – the RBM of Atlanta Man Cave.”
