The world is coming to Atlanta, and there’s no better place to experience the excitement than the Atlanta Beltline. 

Join us on June 20 + 21^st for Atlanta Beltline Fest, a free two-day festival taking over Pittsburgh Yards® on the Southside Trail featuring headlining performances by Busta Rhymes and Tobe Nwigwe. Timed to coincide with one of the biggest sporting events on the planet, the celebration will bring live music and performances, regional and international food, cultural programming and workshops, and more to the heart of the city.  

Festival-goers can enjoy a packed weekend featuring: 

• Live entertainment and headlining acts Busta Rhymes (Sunday) and Tobe Nwigwe (Saturday) on the Main Stage 

• DJ takeovers throughout the day 

• A soccer pitch and family-friendly fun zones 

• Reggaeton & afrobeats dance classes + countless performances. 

• Culinary experiences from Spain + local food trucks  

• Match Lawn viewing parties, including the June 21 match between Spain and Saudi Arabia in Atlanta 

Atlanta Beltline Fest invites residents and visitors alike to encounter the city’s culture, community, and connectivity while creating new pathways for local businesses along the trail corridor. Atlanta-based entrepreneurs were encouraged to participate in the event and the recurring Beltline Indie Market Experience, a pop-up for small businesses along different areas of the trail during the World Cup™. 

As of June 2026, the Beltline features 18.3 miles of completed paved trail, connecting 36 neighborhoods, parks, art installations, restaurants, breweries, food halls, and more. Between June 15 and July 15, Atlanta will host eight matches at Mercedes‑Benz Stadium, including group play, knockout rounds, and a semifinal.  

To showcase Atlanta’s energy beyond the stadium, the Beltline will transform into a cultural hub and gathering place for fans. Businesses and commercial districts across the city are hosting special events, activations, and watch parties throughout the tournament.  

Fans can access the corridor by bike, scooter, or foot, as well as via MARTA and the new free ATL Spoke shuttle from the West End station to Lee + White on the Southwest Trail.
