2025 in Festivals

Every year is a festival year in Decatur! Books, Art, Wine, BBQ — there’s something for everyone. Celebrate a kaleidoscope of cultures through music, dancing, and diverse traditions. Decatur hosts Lunar New Year festivities, the Decatur International Festival, the Pan African Festival, Salsa on the Square, and more. Double down on live music at Porchfest (Georgia’s largest crowd-sourced music festival) and Decatur’s Amplify. The holiday season brings Santa sightings, tree and menorah lightings, and our annual bonfire + marshmallow roast.
