SweetWater 420 Fest
Topping the list of must-attend festivals in Georgia is SweetWater 420 Fest! Hosted in Atlanta by SweetWater Brewing Company, this event is all about live music, craft beer, and saving the planet. It’s more than just a party – it’s an Earth Day celebration with nonprofit villages, workshops, and even a 5K run to work up an appetite.
After the jog, you can enjoy delicious food trucks and browse cool art while sipping on your favorite brews. Sweetwater Brewery has a famous line of strain-specific scented, phenomenal tasting craft beers. It’s the perfect combo of music, weed beer, and environmental activism, making it an unmissable vibe of a time!
Imagine Festival
One of the country’s last independent (and therefore utterly unique) music events, this is also Atlanta’s largest EDM and camping festival. Over 50,000 pairs of feet trample the Atlanta Motor Speedway as top DJs and producers throw down beats across multiple genres like house, techno, and dubstep while epic visuals light up the night.
Beyond the music, you can dive into art installations, yoga sessions, and even carnival rides. Keep cool in the splash pool, and snag a camping spot for the full immersive experience. It’s a wild weekend of music, art, and good vibes you won’t want to miss!
