The Atlanta Weekender

The 6th Annual Atlanta Weekender will take place August 31st- September 5th, 2017 (Labor Day Weekend) in Atlanta, GA. Most events will be centered in the Edgewood Club District in Atlanta’s Old 4th Ward Neighborhood. The festival will again be partnering with world-renowned venues The Sound Table & The Music Room (Edgewood Club District Anchors) for Atlanta Weekender-branded events.


The Atlanta Weekender is curated by Salah Ananse, DJ Kemit, Kai Alce & Ramon Rawsoul - the DJs for the annual event House In The Park, which has an attendance of 10,000+ each year. The festival was designed to provide a full weekend of events for the thousands of people who fly in each year for this event. The Atlanta Weekender has grown from a festival of 12 DJs in its first year to over 40 DJs in 2014.

Past Atlanta Weekender Guests Include: Ron Trent, Theo Parrish, Ian Friday, Tony Humphries, Jihad Muhammad, Karizma, Moodymann, Josh Milan, Bobbito Garcia, Sadar Bahar, Stephanie Cooke, Roland Clark, Carlos Mena, Norm Talley, Miranda Nicole, Sadar Bahar, Jamie 3:26, Rich Medina, Gwen Bunn, Khari Cabral, Chantae Cann and more!
