May 18, 2013 - Atlanta's Centennial Park hosted the annual Party In The Park Saturday to a capacity crowd of all ages. This year's all-day festival brought the happiest, most danceable acts that have ever graced Centennial's lawn. Opening the festival was Atlanta’s own quickly rising stars Electric Sons, followed by the heavy rhythm clad Yeasayer; the party crowd favorite, L.A.’s Grouplove; British import of the day Ellie Goulding; and the evening finished with a set from Passion Pit. Despite threats of rain, not a single drop fell from the sky, giving festival-goers a perfect day to enjoy the park.
