Atlanta is set to host the 16th annual ONE Musicfest this weekend at Piedmont Park, anticipating over 100,000 attendees from across the country.

The festival, founded by Jason “J.” Carter, is built around the mission of unity through music, while also celebrating Atlanta’s rich cultural heritage. Since its inception in 2010, where it started with a modest 2,500 attendees in a small parking lot, ONE Musicfest has grown immensely, marking a significant cultural event in the city.
This year’s lineup features a variety of artists, including Kehlani, Doechii, Wale, and Jagged Edge, alongside a tribute to hip hop legend Rico Wade. Attendees should be prepared for long lines and heavy crowds, as past events have highlighted potential delays and issues with entry. To ensure a smooth experience, security will be tight, with fenced entry points, wand scanning, physical pat-downs, and bag checks in place.
Parking near Piedmont Park is limited; thus, attendees are strongly encouraged to use rideshare services or the MARTA public transportation system. Atlanta officials have also warned of potential traffic delays and road closures in the area during the festival.
Tickets for the event vary, with one-day general admission priced at $99, while premium access can cost up to $1,699. Students can benefit from a 15% discount on ticket purchases. Guests should note that outside food and drink are not permitted, but the festival will feature multiple food courts and local vendors serving a variety of options.
Attendees are also reminded of the festival’s bag policies, which allow only clear bags no larger than 14″x11″x5″. To facilitate an enjoyable experience, festivalgoers are encouraged to stay updated on the festival schedule, permitted items, and safety guidelines through the official festival app and website. Weather changes should be expected, particularly a chance of rain on Sunday, and visitors are advised to follow public safety instructions during the event.
For health and safety, the ONE Musicfest will provide medical stations and hydration resources throughout the venue. Reentry into the festival is regulated under specific policies that can also be reviewed in the festival app.
