From music, art, and books to barbecue, oysters, and wine – we’ve got a festival for that!
Some events are so great, we celebrate them year after year! Live music, diverse traditions, and fabulous food are absolute musts in Decatur.
We welcome the new year with Lunar New Year festivities, celebrate the arts in May, and cheer for the Pied Piper Parade and fireworks on July 4.
Fall is a frenzy of festivals and fun! Join us for Pan African Festival beats, Salsa on the Square, and Porchfest, Georgia’s largest crowd-sourced neighborhood music festival. October is for books, oysters and bbq. And in November, we’ll pour it out at the Decatur Wine Festival.
Winter brings holiday magic to the square. Decatur wraps up the year with tree and menorah lightings, Santa sightings, and our annual bonfire + marshmallow roast.
Mark your calendar. You’re invited!
