August is more than half over– but there’s still plenty of summer fun left. Stay busy without depleting your wallet, with our listing of free events happening around metro Atlanta all weekend.
Make sure to click on each link for details, because some free events require pre-registration.
It’s also a good idea to check with the venue about an event, before you head out. Even if something appears on this list, it’s possible that it’s been changed or canceled — or SOLD OUT. We don’t want you to be disappointed, so please make a quick call or click through to the event’s web page.
And don’t forget about our full calendar, which includes some great values, like $1 movies.
If you don’t already subscribe to our email newsletter, remember to sign up with the form at the bottom of this post — and never miss a free event!
This weekend’s highlights:
The Grant Park Summer Shade Festival — all weekend long!
Open house at the Waffle House Museum — free waffle samples on Saturday!
Free admission to all National Parks on Sunday — see our post for a list of those within metro Atlanta!
The Atlanta Blues Challenge — happening Sunday in Johns Creek!
FREE admission to the College Football of Fame — all through August!
Reminder: Double-Check Before You Head Out!
We’re as excited as you are when we find a great event or deal!
But remember -- events can change. Bargains can sell out. Weather can be unpredictable. The location nearest you may decide not to participate. And many venues reserve the right to change prices and hours without notice.
Please double-check with the source to make sure an event is still happening or a deal is still good before you go.

Saturday, August 24, 2019
The Summer Shade Festival features food, live music, and artist market, and Kids Zone. PLUS, water stations and misting tents help you stay cool!
Sunday, August 25, 2019
The National Parks offer FREE admission this Sunday! This photo was supplied by the National Park Service and was clearly not taken in Georgia — but there are a few parks quite close to Atlanta that you could visit easily, including Kennesaw Mountain and the Chattahoochee River area.
I’m relatively new to the Atlanta area! I’m on a fixed income! I want to find free to low price activities to attend and participate in.
