About Chomp & Stomp
Chomp & Stomp is Cabbagetown’s highly anticipated annual fall festival, bringing together the community for a day of chili, music, and local artistry. Since its inception in 2003, this event has grown into a beloved tradition, attracting around 30,000+ guests who come to enjoy a fiercely competitive chili cook-off, diverse musical performances from some of the nation’s best traditional and bluegrass bands, and an vibrant artist market featuring local artists.
Beyond the fun, Chomp & Stomp serves a vital purpose: as a 501(c)3 non-profit, it directly benefits the maintenance and development of Cabbagetown’s parks and green spaces, contributing to the well-being of this historic Atlanta neighborhood. The day kicks off with the Romp 5k run, and attendees can also explore Chomp Merch while enjoying the festivities.
The festival is made possible through the generous support of its sponsors, who play a crucial role in helping Cabbagetown residents raise funds for their community.

IMPACT ON OUR PARKS
For many, Chomp is a day of beer and chili farts but what folks may not realize is that the money raised from Chomp and Stomp goes toward maintaining the Cabbagetown neighborhood parks.
The cost of maintaining all of the Cabbagetown parks combined is between $50,000 and $60,000 per year.
Approximately 75% of Chomp and Stomp dollars go to maintaining our parks, with the other 25% helping us keep the best party in town alive year after year, Chomp & Stomp!
We rely on this nationally recognized festival to keep the grass green, the parks accessible, and the party going strong. Donate to Cabbagetown Park here.
