Origin


The first festival began in Oakhurst, Georgia, with 3,000 attendees, as a way for the brewery to bring together all of the elements it was passionate about in one place – music, beer and the environment. Patrons drank SweetWater beer while watching headlining musical act Tea Leaf Green. Two years later, the festival would call Little Five Points' Candler Park home, where it remained until 2013. As of its 10th Anniversary in 2014, SweetWater 420 Festival now welcomes fans to their new home at Centennial Olympic Park in the heart of Atlanta. Environmental awareness continues to have a large presence at the festival, which also features musicians and local artists and vendors.



Activities


As an Earth Day celebration, the SweetWater 420 Festival hosts charities, non-profits and environmental workshops in its Planet 420 Non-Profit Village alongside the live music stages, food trucks, artist market, and beer stations.
The festival also hosts an annual SweetWater 420 Fest 5K, in which participants run through the park and surrounding neighborhood in a USATF qualifying course on the Saturday morning of the weekend festival.



Musical acts


From local favorites to national artists, the festival features headlining musical acts each day of the weekend-long event. The number of attendees has grown since the festival's inception, and it has attracted many popular musicians.

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
