Celebrate the start of spring with more family-friendly fun, rides and entertainment

Atlanta Fair is cruising into town once again from March 3 – April 9, 2023! The Fair will be located across from the Georgia State Stadium, in the lot at the intersection of Central Ave SW and Ralph David Abernathy Blvd. Fairgoers are welcomed to kick off the spring season with classic carnival games, mouth-watering fair food, rip-roaring thrill rides and gentler attractions for the youngest members of the family.

The 2023 Atlanta Fair will feature returning Midway attraction favorites, such as the Alien Abduction, Drop Tower and Scooter. The Himalaya also returns for another year of head spinning as the Expedition! This year, guests can enjoy thrilling new rides, including Time Warp, Backwards Swings and Kiddie Pirate Ship. No day at the Midway is complete without indulging in all-time fair classics and Deep Fried – new in 2023 – will serve up funnel cakes with all the toppings, deep fried Oreos, Snickers and Reese’s. The Atlanta Fair team is ready for another fun-filled season, bringing families a lively and entertaining experience this spring.
