Centennial Olympic Park Town Hall Recap

Officials from the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA) and Happy Endings Productions met with Centennial Olympic Park community members on Wednesday (April 3) to discuss details of the upcoming SweetWater 420 Fest taking place April 19–21 at the Park.

Here are a few highlights from the town hall below:

Got a Minute to Give?

The “4:19: Got a Minute to Give” initiative, launched in 2018, is an easy way for SweetWater 420 Fest artists to create an impact. They have the opportunity to benefit a charity or cause of their choice. Artists donate items such as concert tickets, signed photos, posters, and other memorabilia or experiences. The donated items or auctions will be promoted in advance via the artist’s and event’s media, social channels, and throughout the festival weekend creating publicity for the charity or cause. Last year, more than $30,000 was raised. For more information visit: https://www.sweetwater420fest.com/fournineteen/
