We planted Concord grape vines that we bought from Home Depot a few years back and this year they actually have quite a
+6
bit of fruit. When can we harvest the fruit here in Atlanta and enjoy it?

It's a closeup shot. The are about 1cm in diameter. Hopefully the birds don't eat them in the meantime.

Just check on the grapes earlier and the birds have eaten most of the blueberries. Oh well.

Give them one feeder bush and net the rest of them if practical.

If I pick them early- will they (the grapes) ripen faster?

Concord grapes are prone to uneven ripening, and one of the reasons is high temperatures, which is why they are not a recommended variety in Georgia. (I am going to refrain from getting on my soapbox about big box stores selling things that are not appropriate for their locations.) But since you seem to have beaten the odds this year, do not pick your grapes early. Unlike some other fruit, once they are cut from the vine grapes do not continue to ripen. Good luck!

I have some here in southern Alabama and mine does great. I should get about 2 1/2 gallons off one vine this year. I'm going have a friend make me some wine with mine.
