Annual Signature Events
Peachtree City Arts Festival (Spring)
Every spring, Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater transforms into an outdoor art gallery showcasing works from over 100 juried artists. This two-day festival features paintings, sculptures, photography, jewelry, and more, along with live music and food vendors. It's a perfect family outing that celebrates creativity and supports local and regional artists.
Typically held in late April
Summer Concert Series (June-August)
Pack your lawn chairs and blankets for free outdoor concerts at the amphitheater every Friday evening during summer. The lineup includes tribute bands, classic rock, country, and family-friendly performances. Arrive early to claim your spot, bring a picnic, and enjoy live music under the stars with your neighbors.

Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast (Monthly)
On the first Saturday of every month, the Kiwanis Club hosts an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast at the Kedron Fieldhouse. It's become a beloved community tradition where neighbors catch up over stacks of pancakes, bacon, and coffee. Proceeds support youth programs and community service projects.
First Saturday monthly, 7:30-11:00 AM
Halloween Golf Cart Parade
Peachtree City takes Halloween seriously! Residents deck out their golf carts in elaborate decorations and costumes for the annual Halloween parade through neighborhoods. Kids trick-or-treat along the golf cart paths, and many families host driveway parties with candy stations. It's a safe, fun way to celebrate that showcases the community's creative spirit.
