April in Atlanta offers much to enjoy, with beautiful weather, blooming spring flowers, major events, and a wide range of activities. For many visitors, it’s one of the best times of the year to experience the city.
Key April festivals include the huge Dogwood Festival in Piedmont Park, celebrating arts, food, and music; the Atlanta Film Festival; and the well-attended Inman Park Festival and Tour of Homes.
Besides events, there is plenty more to do in Atlanta during April. While many attractions are available year-round, the best activities in April take advantage of the pleasant spring weather and the season’s abundant flowers.
You could explore the Atlanta Botanical Garden, historic Oakland Cemetery, or one of the city’s many parks and nature spots. Outdoor dining and sightseeing in Atlanta’s most popular neighborhoods are also perfect springtime activities.
