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.
The 420 Fest promoter is Rival Entertainment, and its co-founder, Josh Antenucci, said in a news release that the event is an “iconic” one, and this venue change marks the fourth location used for the brewing company’s festival.
“As a producer and fan who has experienced its long history at Candler Park, Centennial Olympic Park and Pullman Yards, I am excited to team up with SweetWater Brewing this year to reimagine the music festival in its 21st year and for its future. With a beautiful new Westside ATL location, the 2026 festival will be uniquely Atlanta and true to its SweetWater roots,” Antenucci said.
