ATLANTA — SweetWater Brewing Company announced that its 21st annual 420 Fest will be shifting gears away from Pullman Yards in 2026.

The company announced the music festival will be held on April 17-18, 2026. It will be moved nearly 12 miles west to Shirley Clarke Franklin Park, the city’s largest green space with more than 280 acres. It is connected to the Atlanta Beltline, according to the announcement.

The new location change is intended to provide increased capacity for a bigger, greener and more accessible experience for attendees. It will also mark Shirley Clarke Franklin Park’s first large-scale public event of this kind, the news release said.
