Experience Atlanta’s Premier Urban Ag Event!
In 2026, Food Well Alliance and WABE are excited to host Atlanta’s premier urban agriculture event!
Soil Festival is a family-friendly event at Atlanta's historic Maddox Park on Saturday, May 16, 2026. Come learn about the importance of healthy soil and how to grow your own food.
Spend the day tasting locally sourced food and drinks, exploring workshops on composting, beekeeping, and gardening, browsing the farmers market and plant sale, and taking home free compost, all while connecting with the people behind Atlanta's food community.
The cost of your ticket will go toward providing critical resources to local farms, community gardens, and orchards. By purchasing a Soil Festival ticket, you’re supporting local growers, helping them thrive, and strengthening our community. Your ticket covers, admission, food, beverages, workshops, and more!
