FREE Chamblee Summer Concert Series: Crystal Clear Band on July 4th, plus fireworks

Buy a VIP table

While the concerts are free, you can upgrade your experience by purchasing a VIP table in front of the stage. The tables seat eight and are located in a roped-off section that requires a wristband for entry.

The price is $200 and Freshtix adds a fee of $11.49. You can purchase online. But don’t wait, because they sell out quickly!

There is no VIP option for the July Fourth concert.

Food options

There will be food trucks on site for all four concerts, as well as designated tents where you can buy beer and wine.

But in case you don’t know, downtown Chamblee has shrugged off its “Antique Row” reputation to become a bustling restaurant scene. Come early on concert nights to take advantage of these dining options, all located within a walkable area:

Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken
Frosty Caboose (ice cream, hot dogs)
Southbound
Vintage Pizzeria
BlueTop
Hopstix

You may bring your own food — except for alcohol. If you bring a cooler, it must be small enough to fit under a chair, and no larger than a 30-quart capacity. Note that your bags and coolers are subject to search.

If you arrive early, you may also want to browse the shops in downtown Chamblee, located along Broad Street and Peachtree Road.

Getting there

Downtown Chamblee business district

Downtown Chamblee is embracing transit-oriented development — and the business district is an easy walk from the Chamblee MARTA Station.

If you live anywhere on the Gold Line, MARTA is a no-brainer. Get off at Chamblee Station, then follow the signs pointing to the buses (not to Chamblee Tucker Rd) to exit the platform. In the middle of the station, one level below, you’ll find a short covered walkway that is marked Peachtree Rd. This is the shortest walk to the concert.

Keswick Park

Keswick Park is most likely a driving destination. Take Peachtree Boulevard to Johnson Ferry Rd. and turn right if you’re coming from points north, or left if you’re coming from points south. Then take the first right onto Keswick Drive.

You can also walk to Keswick Park from Chamblee Station. From the platform, follow the signs to the Chamblee Tucker exit. You can reach the park via the Chamblee Rail Trail, which you can pick up on Chamblee-Tucker Rd alongside the WalMart shopping center. View the MARTA Guide with walking directions. It’s about a 20-minute walk and the trail is pleasant.

Parking

There is a limited amount of parking in the Chamblee downtown business district. If you have a valid handicapped permit, you’ll find parking at the Chamblee Police Department, which is adjacent to the Centennial Park concert venue.

When the designated business district lots are full, you can park at the Interactive College of Technology (5303 New Peachtree Road, Chamblee, GA 30341).

We don’t have any information about a shuttle yet, but there has been shuttle service in past years. It’s a 15-minute walk to the concert venue from the college lots.

Keswick Park has parking alongside the sports fields. There is handicapped parking next to the Community Building.

In past years, there has been Fourth of July parking at one of the schools, with shuttle service to Keswick Park. We’ll update as we find more info, or you can check Chamblee’s website or Facebook page. (Links below, in the Know Before You Go section)
