NO PETS ALLOWED: Per the City of Atlanta, no pets are allowed in Piedmont Park during an outdoor festival.   Patrons attempting to bring animals onsite are subject to ticketing by the Atlanta City Police Department. Service animals are exempt from this policy.

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES: Alcoholic beverages are sold within the festival grounds. You must present proper identification to purchase alcoholic beverages.  Beverages purchased at the event must remain onsite, open containers may not leave the festival grounds.
