One of the most anticipated events of the Atlanta spring calendar is almost here. SweetWater 420 Fest returns for its 21st year on April 17 and 18, 2026, and this time it is moving to a bigger and better venue: Shirley Clarke Franklin Park, Atlanta's newest and largest public park.
A New Venue for a Beloved Festival
For the first time, SweetWater 420 Fest will take place at Shirley Clarke Franklin Park, located at 1660 Johnson Road NW in northwest Atlanta. The new venue gives the festival more room to grow with expanded stages, more space for food and craft beer vendors, and an overall better experience for attendees. The park is one of Atlanta's newest green spaces and represents the city's continued investment in public parks and community gathering places.
