About this Event
Can your dad cook or just love to eat? Either way, bring him out for the Father’s Day Grill Off, the ultimate Southern family BBQ experience!
We're celebrating all Father figures, Step-dads, Bonus - dads, Uncles or whoever represents that father figure in your life! Everyone is welcome. Think tailgate vibes, smoke in the air, music, laughter, and dads finally getting the love they deserve.
Dads can step up and compete in the Grill Off, or families can pull up, set up tents, and cook out with the community.
This is a family-friendly celebration for dads across Atlanta and surrounding areas with jumpy houses, face painting, 50+ vendors, contests, awards, games, and activities for all ages.
If your dad doesn’t grill, no problem treat them to a full day of recognition, fun, food, and vibes made just for him. Dads don’t get celebrated enough, so this day is all about honoring them, laughing with them, and making memories.
Bring your dad. Bring your family. Bring your grill skills or just bring your appetite and your love.
Let’s celebrate Father’s Day the Southern way.
