ONE Musicfest changes venue from Piedmont to Central Park [Video]

ATLANTA — Organizers of ONE Musicfest announced a major change just 24 days ahead of the festival’s kickoff. The two-day music festival, which was originally slated to be held at Piedmont Park, will now take place at Central Park in Atlanta.
