Atlanta Events - August 2027

Atlanta festivals in August usually include big outdoors events such as the Piedmont Park Arts Festival and the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival. There are usually also wine and beer events, cultural festivals, film festivals and pop culture conventions. Other Atlanta events in August include a full calendar of concerts, comedy shows, musicals and other performances, outdoor summer concerts, and trade shows and expositions.

Other activities in Atlanta during August depend on the weather. On the hottest days, the city’s many air-conditioned museums and other indoor attractions provide a great way to cool off, with plenty of options for families.

Shaded parks offer some relief from the heat, but for outdoor sightseeing – whether exploring historic cemeteries, unique neighborhoods, the Atlanta BeltLine or nearby hiking spots – it’s best to go early in the day.
