Inaugural 770 Day Festival

Okay, y’all, get ready because the Inaugural 770 Day Festival is about to pop off, and trust me, you do not want to miss this one. This is a brand-new, super exciting celebration of all things South Metro Atlanta, and it’s happening on September 12, 2026. Picture this: a whole day dedicated to showing love to the Aerotropolis region, which, if you don’t know, is basically Atlanta’s backyard and its global front door, all rolled into one vibrant package.

When you roll up to Starr Park in Forest Park, located at 5031 Park Avenue, you’re stepping into a free, family-friendly party that’s all about community. Expect a full day brimming with good times, featuring a lineup of music that’ll keep your head nodding and your feet tapping. And honey, what’s a festival without some good eats? You know there will be plenty of food trucks dishing out deliciousness to keep your belly happy all day long.

Beyond the music and grub, this festival is a fantastic way to connect with the heart of the community. You’ll find local businesses showcasing their goods and services, which is always a great opportunity to support our own. Plus, there will be community resources available and even health and wellness services, so it’s not just fun, it’s also helpful and enriching. This whole shindig is part of the larger 770 Initiative, put on by South7585News, and it’s all about celebrating the amazing people, unique cultures, and diverse communities that make up our beloved 770 region.

This festival is for absolutely everyone. Whether you’re looking for a chill family outing, a fun friends’ day, or even a solo adventure to soak up some good vibes, this is the spot. It’s a shout-out to communities across Intown South Atlanta, South Fulton County, Clayton County, Fayette County, Henry County, and South DeKalb County. Basically, if you’re in the 770, this is your party.

Getting there is a breeze too, especially if you’re taking MARTA. You can hop on routes 55 (from Five Points Station), 193 (from East Point Station), or 195 (from College Park Station), and just exit at Forest Park City Hall. So, grab your crew, bring the kiddos, and come on down to experience the 770 in all its glory. Did I mention it’s completely free? That’s right, no tickets needed, just show up and enjoy the celebration!
