As fall in Atlanta approaches, so do fall festivals! Whether you’re selling candles at the Old Fourth Ward Arts Festival, serving up delicious bites at Chalktoberfest, or treasure hunting at various markets, make your festival season smoother with self storage.
Below, we’ve gathered practical storage tips for festival vendors, strategies for keeping your haul as a festival attendee organized, and a list of fall festivals in Atlanta, GA, to help you plan.
You have a lot of gear to organize as a festival vendor, and self storage makes the process easier. Keep pop-up tents, tables, signage, extension cords, point-of-sale gear, and more ready to go with a drive-up access storage unit. You can park your van, truck, or car directly in front of your space for faster loading in the morning and efficient drop-offs after the festival ends.
The Georgia heat can linger in the fall, so if you plan to sell artisan soaps, fine art, electronics, and other delicate items, choose climate-controlled storage. These specialized storage units are perfect for tucking away temperature-sensitive wares, especially if you’re building your inventory as you prepare for fall festivals.
At Compass Self Storage, we operate several storage facilities in the Atlanta area that accept deliveries on your behalf. Ship your inventory, banners, brochures, and more to your storage unit to stay organized leading up to your fall festivals. You can even put together pre-labeled show kits if you have multiple events coming up back-to-back.
A storage unit provides a space to keep your dollies, ratchet straps, and carts, preventing you from scrambling on the morning of your event.

Speaking of trucks, we have moving truck rentals available at various storage facilities in Atlanta. You won’t have to commute to and from a different location to pick up or drop off your rented moving truck!
