LAST DAY for the Atlanta Fair — Unlimited Rides $20-25!

By Jeniece Stewart November 7, 2021

The 2021 Atlanta Fair runs from Friday, October 8th to Sunday, November 7th — after being canceled last spring, when it usually takes place. 


This is Georgia’s only urban fair, taking place in Turner Field’s Gray Lot (across from the GA Panthers’ stadium).

It features plenty of exciting rides and your favorite carnival cuisine — from cotton candy and funnel cakes to Polish Sausage with peppers and onions.

In previous years, there has been nightly entertainment, like concerts and dance troupes.
In 2021, the only entertainment act listed on the fair’s scaled-down website is Lady Houdini — a female escape artist who is claimed to have broken the original Houdini’s record in 2012. She performs on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, through Nov. 6th.


This year’s fair features returning favorites such as the Alien Abduction, Crazy Dance and Nemesis 360, whose inverted spins and lofty heights have been bringing out the daredevil in its patrons since 2018, as well as new attractions the whole family is sure to love such as the Zero Gravity and Drop Tower. No day at the Midway is complete without traditional fare such as cotton candy, candy apples, popcorn, corn dogs and funnel cakes! The Atlanta Fair team is excited to bring families a much-needed dose of fall fun!

About Atlanta Fair
Since its inception in 1980, The Atlanta Fair at Turner Field has brought the thrills, excitement and sounds of the Midway to Georgia residents. What was once only the dream of three carnival-loving brothers from Southeastern Kentucky has blossomed into one of the largest in-town fairs in the Southeast United States.
