CompassionCon is an annual outdoor celebration that brings together people of all ages to experience the vibrant ecosystem of a compassionate community. Held at the historic Legacy Park in Decatur, this fun, fall festival invites neighbors, families, and organizations to connect through shared values of kindness, justice, and inclusion.

Step into a landscape of compassion—an ecosystem of 15 immersive “neighborhoods” designed to explore the many ways compassion can live in our communities: through storytelling, food, healing, creativity, environmental care, civic engagement, and joyful play.

This intergenerational gathering is a space where peaceful words and actions are practiced, celebrated, and amplified. Whether you're learning about herbal remedies in the Learning Lab, connecting with changemakers in the Civil Rights Town Center, or simply enjoying the laughter of kids in the Children’s Play Space—you belong here.

CompassionCon is more than a festival—it’s how we grow the roots of an inclusive, connected, and kindhearted Georgia. With 100+ vendors and up to 1500 guests, this event shows us how we build our interconnectedness and value our common humanity throughout our communities. 

Come discover organizations that center compassion in their work. Come meet your neighbors. Get civically engaged. Come help us build the future we want to live in—together. This is how we change the systems in which we live!  This is how we change the world, one community at a time.
