This is popular festival attended by 10,000 people, and includes a great band line-up, artists’ market, children’s activities, 5K road race, tour of homes, and more.

History

Candler Park has a rich and interesting past. Read about CPNO’s history here.

Candler Park has undergone many changes over the past century, and aspects of its history have been forgotten along the way. Thanks to recent research by the Early Edgewood-Candler Park BiRacial History Project, we can now add another dimension to the Candler Park of decades past: including the rich history of its African American working class neighborhood, and probing local racial dynamics of the 100+ years since the neighborhood was founded.
