ATLANTA — It’s Atlanta Jazz Festival weekend! The festival is one of the largest free jazz festivals in the country and features different jazz artists from around the world.

Here’s what you need to know before the next festival:

Where and when does the Atlanta Jazz Festival take place?

The 47th Atlanta Jazz Festival will take place at Piedmont Park. The festival is open from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Does it cost anything to enter?

Participation in the festival is free.

How can I get to the festival? Where can I park?

Mike Shields of Triple Team Traffic says festival-goers can take a rideshare service or hop on MARTA and get off at the Arts Center or Midtown stations and walk a few blocks. You can also take MARTA bus lines to get to the park.

There are public parking lots off 13th and 14th Streets, Peachtree Street and Spring Street.

What can and cannot I bring to the jazz festival?

No glass containers, no smoking devices, no bikes or skates and no grills.

Due to city ordinances, pets are not allowed inside Piedmont Park for the event. The off-leash dog park will, however, remain open.
