Guide to the Yellow Daisy Festival

Celebrating 56 years in 2024, this fan-favorite event at Stone Mountain Park wows visitors with four days of fun.

A highlight of Georgia's festival calendar every September, the Yellow Daisy Festival at Stone Mountain Park is one event that arts and crafts fans absolutely can’t miss. Expansive festival grounds welcome visitors to browse and purchase work by hundreds of artists over the four-day event.

What began as a small arts and crafts show in 1968 is now a big event that maintains a small-town feel. Named for the yellow flowers that bloom in September on the mountain's hiking trails, the festival welcomes families and friends to spend time browsing the artists' booths, enjoying great festival food and spending the day at one of Georgia's most popular attractions.
