Due to the completion date of the Harmony Park/ Oakhurst Streetscape, the Oakhurst Festival will not be held on October 10th.

The Decatur Arts Alliance would like to use this brief hiatus to evaluate and gather community input for upcoming art events in the Oakhurst neighborhood in 2016.

If you have ideas for community art events that would reflect the incredible Oakhurst neighborhood, please email [email protected]

Thank you for your support of the arts in Decatur!

2011 Oakhurst Arts and Music Festival — Calling all Volunteers!

Come make the 14th annual Oakhurst Arts and Music Festival the best ever! You’re invited to volunteer at this great neighborhood festival for a few hours or all day — it’s up to you. This year’s festival is Saturday, October 8th. It kicks off with the 5K Fun Run at 8 a.m. followed by an exciting lineup of artists and musicians from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Volunteers are needed to set up the 5K run, help manage the parade, oversee children on the inflatables and help with the artist market. Volunteers have a great time and get an event t-shirt. To volunteer, contact Jackie Lee at [email protected] or 404-371-9583.

2011 Oakhurst Arts and Music Festival — Join the Parade!

Local residents and groups are invited to be part of this year’s Oakhurst Arts and Music Festival Parade. It’s fun and it’s free! All entries are welcome (except gasoline vehicles, sorry). Parade Marshalls this year are Louise Jackson and Mary Whitehead—long time Oakhurst residents. The new parade route is only one third of a mile and winds directly through the heart of the festival. So get creative and have fun. Your club, your team, your co-workers, fellow dog owners, skateboarders or your kids’ decorated bicycles would all be great additions. To enter yourself or your group in the Parade, contact Jackie Lee at [email protected] or 404-371-9583.

Another weekend, another wicked Oakhurst festival!
