About Centennial Olympic Park

Centennial Olympic Park is a 22-acre outdoor park and event space located in downtown Atlanta. It opened in 1996 as part of the Centennial Summer Olympic Games and later expanded and renovated, including a significant expansion completed in the 2010s. The park is owned and operated by the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, and its capacity varies widely by configuration, with the Great Lawn able to accommodate tens of thousands for major festivals and concerts.

The park hosts outdoor concerts, music festivals, cultural and food festivals, holiday celebrations, Independence Day events, fitness and community gatherings, fan festivals, ticketed special events, and year-round public access. It has served as the site of 1996 Centennial Olympic Games celebrations, large annual holiday and Fourth of July events, and FIFA Fan Festival Atlanta activity tied to World Cup programming.

Centennial Olympic Park is known as an enduring civic legacy of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and as the symbolic center of a downtown district that includes the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca-Cola, and the College Football Hall of Fame.

Location & Transportation

Centennial Olympic Park is located at 285 International Blvd NW, Atlanta, GA 30313 — in downtown Atlanta near major attractions, hotels, the Georgia World Congress Center, CNN Center, and Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Transit: MARTA rail is a practical way to reach Centennial Olympic Park, with access through stations serving the GWCC/CNN Center area, including Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena/CNN Center. Vine City and Peachtree Center stations are also within reach, and MARTA bus routes serve the downtown core.

Driving and Parking: The park does not rely on one large dedicated lot. Parking is available in surrounding downtown decks and garages, including facilities serving the Georgia World Congress Center, CNN Center, and nearby attractions. For major downtown events, lots can fill early and pricing often rises on high-demand days.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are common because of the downtown setting. Expect curbside activity around streets such as Marietta Street, International Boulevard, and Baker Street, along with post-event delays when large crowds exit the area.

Nearby Accommodation: Downtown Atlanta has extensive lodging within walking distance, including hotels around the Georgia World Congress Center, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and the CNN Center/Omni area. Staying nearby can make arrival and post-event departure much easier for large festivals and evening events.

Venue Navigation

Centennial Olympic Park is an open-air downtown park with lawns, plazas, pathways, commemorative areas, and event layouts that can change for festivals and concerts. Understanding the temporary event map before arrival helps you plan your entry point, walking route, and meeting spot.

Entrances and Access: The park has multiple pedestrian entry points from surrounding streets, including Marietta Street, Baker Street, International Boulevard, and Centennial Olympic Park Drive. General park access is open-air, while ticketed events may use fenced entry gates.

Seating Levels: Centennial Olympic Park is organized around open lawns, plazas, pathways, the Fountain of Rings, and commemorative areas. For concerts and festivals, the Great Lawn is commonly used for temporary event layouts and general admission viewing.

Accessibility: Paved pathways provide accessible routes throughout the park, and accessible parking is available in nearby downtown garages.

Getting to Your Section: Festival and concert layouts are temporary, so expect signage, staff direction, and event maps to guide guests toward entrances, stages, vendor areas, and viewing spaces. Comfortable footwear is helpful because you may walk across lawns and paved paths during the event.

How Much Do Tickets to Centennial Olympic Park Cost?

Centennial Olympic Park ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or festival lineup, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from free public events and general park access to ticketed concerts and major festivals.

Free public events and general park access can have no cost, making the park a year-round destination even outside ticketed programming.

Festivals and ticketed concerts at Centennial Olympic Park are typically priced at approximately $20–$100+ depending on the event, lineup, and demand. Larger events with popular headliners or limited capacity can trend higher as inventory tightens.

For high-demand ticketed festivals, buying earlier generally secures better pricing and availability. As the event date approaches and inventory shrinks, the best-value listings often disappear first, especially for popular lineups and major downtown event weekends.

Best Seats at Centennial Olympic Park

• Best value: General admission lawn space — open-lawn events allow guests to find a comfortable viewing spot while staying within the most common ticketing format for the park.
• Closest to the action: Areas nearer the stage — for concerts and festivals, arriving early can help you get closer to the performance area when general admission access is used.

Getting Ready for Your Centennial Olympic Park Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a fully outdoor venue in the middle of downtown Atlanta.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile networks can become congested in the dense downtown core during large events. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for major events, as downtown parking fills and street access can be affected by crowds.
• Wear the right footwear. Centennial Olympic Park includes open lawns and paved pathways, so comfortable shoes are recommended for grass, walking, and standing during festivals or concerts.
• Dress in layers. The park is fully outdoors and exposed to sun, heat, and rain. Bring sun protection in summer, and consider layers or rain gear as conditions require.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Downtown Atlanta can become crowded around major events, so plan additional time for parking, walking from garages, rideshare delays, or MARTA travel.
• Know your entrance. For large fenced events, the event ticket and event map can point you toward the correct gate based on surrounding streets, which helps you move through entry more efficiently.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
