Atlanta Park Rules
The Atlanta Caribbean Carnival is a Class D Festival, which means there are a number of rules and ordinances in place to help keep us all safe in a large festival environment.
No Pets
We love our furfriends too, but we must all leave our dogs, cats, ponies, and mini-pigs at home, whether they are leashed or not. This applies to the festival footprint only; the Piedmont Park Dog Park will remain open as usual.
No Soliciting/Passing Handbills
There can be no solicitation, passing of handbills/flyers, or any sales activities except with written permission.
No Glass Containers
Glass containers are prohibited in parks.
No Smoking
The City of Atlanta passed an ordinance banning smoking in public parks. This includes, “inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying any lighted tobacco product including cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco.” This includes the smoking and use of marijuana and any other illegal drugs!
No Bicycles or Skates
Class D Festival ordinances also prohibit use of motorized vehicles, except for use by emergency and festival personnel. No skateboard, roller-skate, bicycle, motorcycle, or moped riding is allowed during event times. The Atlanta Bicycle Coalition will have a FREE bike valet located in Piedmont Park on 10th Street near Park Tavern to safely store your bicycles during the festival.
No Audible Personal Radios or Instruments
No playing of portable radios, musical instruments or similar devices that are plainly audible to others in the park, unless part of event programming.
Protect Historic 4th Ward Park
Please place all litter in designated receptacles. There are waste and recycling bins located all over the park. Use them. Seriously. This is a polite reminder (and another city ordinance!)
Lost and Found
Lost and found (including children) is located at the Lost and Found tent at the Main Stage. The backstage entrance is on the side of the stage that faces the park entrance at Angiers Ave.
