Atlanta Jazz Festival - Let's Meet Up!

Ladies,

If you love music, good company, and being outside; keep reading . . . this meetup is for you!

Bring your chair/blanket and picnic items, then come meet us for one of the most fun events of the year. If you're traveling solo, enjoy the day with us. If you're with your own group and/or don't want to hang all day, just come by for a quick meet and greet -- I'd love to meet you, show you I'm a real person (not AI!), and give you some YANA love.

Note this event will be updated closer to the event to provide more details on the meeting spot and time, but my plan is to arrive early and find a spot to plant myself for the day. (I typically set up not far from the restrooms at the entrance on 10th street and Charles Allen street, and I will have blue balloons to make it easier to find me.)

Finally, to make the day most enjoyable, I recommend planning ahead for transportation and/or parking. You do NOT want to wait until the night before! (I've done that and been frustrated since neighborhood parking is now restricted!) Here are some options to consider:

🎷 Have someone drop you off
If you arrive early, you can be dropped off near the park entrance at 10th & Charles Allen. That’s usually the most direct access point to the festival area.
🎷 Reserve parking in advance
The Atlanta Jazz Festival website recommends using [SpotHero.com](https://spothero.com/), which still has parking options listed for $10–$30 depending on distance. Just note: many lots are about a mile from the park entrance, and that’s not including the walk to the actual festival area—so wear comfy shoes!
🎷 Take MARTA
The Midtown station is about four blocks from the park. From there, you’ll still need to walk the width of the park along 10th Street to get to the heart of the festival.

It’s always a magical day—but planning ahead will make it that much smoother and more enjoyable.
