Plan a visit to Chastain Park Ampitheater. A local favorite annual event is Chastain's summer series, which has attracted big-name headliners such as John Mayer, Tori Amos, Duran Duran, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow and Journey. Additionally, the Grammy Award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra draws big crowds. Be sure to pack a picnic and a cooler of beverages to take to your event, as on-site catering is expensive.
Purchase event tickets. Patrons can purchase single event tickets or packages, such as the Wednesday, Friday and Saturday series, which allow series ticket holders to attend events on a given day for a pre-determined amount of time. Consider purchasing a parking pass in advance, as parking areas are small and can fill up quickly on the day-of concert events. Check out the seating chart on Chastain's website and consider weather conditions, as outdoor seats are not protected from rain.
Get to Chastain Park. Nestled between Buckhead and Sandy Springs, Chastain Park is easy to get to from GA-400, I-85, I-75, I-20 and Roswell Road. The address is: 4469 Stella Drive Northwest Atlanta, GA 30327. Directions can also be obtained by calling (404) 733-4955. Arrive early to avoid heavy traffic.
Experience Chastain Park Amphitheater. Prepare for a highly-social environment; families hanging out, coworkers and friends mingling. Enjoy music beneath moonlight or sun.
