Featuring over 400 artists from across the United States, Stone Mountain Park’s 57 th annual Yellow Daisy Festival will take place Sept. 4 - 7. Voted one of the top arts and crafts shows in the nation by Sunshine Artist Magazine, a Southeast Tourism Society Top 20 Event, and winner of multiple awards by the Southeast Festival and Events Association, the Yellow Daisy Festival is a tradition for shoppers searching for unique handcrafted works of art.

Discover the best antique market in Atlanta at the Yellow Daisy Vintage Village! Located within the lower meadow of the Yellow Daisy Festival, the Vintage Village is back with a highly curated lineup of vendors. Find great vintage, antique, and repurposed goods, vintage-inspired clothing, accessories, and more!

Festival crafters and artists are chosen through a competitive application process by the Yellow Daisy Festival jury to display their distinctive handmade work in categories including pottery, fabric, painting, jewelry, sculpture, fiber, photography, fine arts, and traditional arts and crafts.

New this year, the Fresh Flower and Plant Garden, where guests can choose from local florists and greenhouses and create a stunning bouquet at home. The Children’s Entrepreneurs Market will bring young entrepreneurs showcasing their skills in their own dedicated section. The Kids’ Corner will return with inflatables, carnival games, face painting, balloon artists, and sand art. During all four days of the festival, guests can enjoy live entertainment on the main stage, including Rock, Blues, Soul, and more.

The beer garden will offer a place to rest, relax, and refresh in the shade before venturing out to discover more hand-crafted wares. Food trucks and festival food will also be on hand to satisfy any cravings.

The 2025 Yellow Daisy Festival featured artist is Kate Lucas. Kate Lucas is a watercolor artist living with her husband and three children in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. During Covid, she and her family moved to Winston-Salem, NC to be near family. It was during the pandemic that she fell in love with watercolor. “Watercolor became a way to cope with all of the new and sometimes scary things that were happening. Being with water, allowing it to move and run as it does, knowing I cannot control every aspect of the medium, helped me to heal and taught me patience and grace.” As she is not formally trained, her style is uniquely her own. “My artwork reflects who I am as a person, my passions, my dreams and my sorrows. It allows me the freedom to be uniquely me.”

Located in the park’s Special Events Meadow, admission to the festival is FREE with paid parking.

Festival dates are September 4 - 7

Festival hours are Thursday & Sunday | 9 AM – 5 PM, Friday & Saturday | 9 AM – 6 PM
