Description from the web site.

Imagine residents safely enjoying their city, socializing with neighbors, and engaging in healthy activities. Imagine if all of this were free, with absolutely no barriers to participation. By the people, for the people. Sound good yet?

On May 23rd from 1-6PM, we are turning this dream into a reality by organizing the first-ever Atlanta Streets Alive. This event will take a valuable public space - our city's streets - and open them up for people to play, walk, bike, breathe, and make their own.

Modeled on tremendously successful events from around the world, including Bogotá, Colombia's Ciclovia; Paris, France's Paris Plage; and San Francisco's Sunday's Streets, the event will be part bike tour, part block party, and a great time for getting active, supporting local businesses along the route, people watching, and enjoying our amazing city!
