Fall Fest in Candler Park 2026

2026 Fall Fest in Candler Park will take place on October 3 and 4, and we are so thrilled to have you back, (Candler Park Fall Fest). This is our 25th Fall Fest, and we are a true neighborhood festival, through and through.  This year, we are showcasing our larger festival footprint, extending out of the park and into the streets of the neighborhood. We draw attendees from across metro Atlanta, with a diverse artist market, premiere food vendors and dynamic entertainment. All participants receive a high level of visibility and foot traffic due to our location in and around Candler Park. Jury process is rolling. Once categories are full, artists will be placed on a wait-list and contacted if a spot becomes available. 

Artist market hours are 11am - 6pm on Saturday and 11am-5pm Sunday. For ongoing festival updates follow us on Instagram @fallfestincandlerpark and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/FallFestCandlerPark.

All work exhibited in our Artist Market must be the artist’s original artwork (all mediums accepted), handcrafted items such as clothing, furniture and decorative objects and consumables such as soaps, lotions, candles, speciality food items. Vendor applications will be reviewed for appropriateness and exhibition officials have the authority to reject or disqualify any applications.
