They will be located by the Coca-Cola Stage and our Family Fun Zone.
Surrounded by curtains to create shade and separation, the wellness tents are enclosed to allow guests to enjoy the cooler dark space while our community partners with Compassionate Atlanta welcome you with noise-canceling headphones, sensory and fidget toys, and a space to calm yourself.
