Things to Know
Vending on Atlanta Beltline
The Atlanta Beltline is a vibrant corridor full of people, culture, and creativity — and there are ways for entrepreneurs and small businesses to join in. The City of Atlanta regulates vending on the Beltline, which means selling goods or services requires authorization through approved programs.
From the Atlanta Beltline Marketplace to the Beltline Indie Market and other Beltline-sponsored events, there are multiple opportunities to share your products, services, and creativity with the community—all within the city’s guidelines.
Vending on the Atlanta Beltline is only permitted through these programs; all other vending requires the appropriate permits through the City of Atlanta.
