Welcome to Atlanta Streets Alive!

 
Imagine a street full of people of all ages and backgrounds, walking, biking, creating and laughing, together. A street temporarily closed to cars, but open to people. 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, we turned this dream into a reality by organizing the first-ever Atlanta Streets Alive:

ASA takes a valuable public space – our city’s streets – and opens 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, ASA is 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!

Building on the success of the May event, the next Atlanta Streets Alive is planned for Sunday, October 17 from 1-6PM. Watch this space for more information on the fall event, or find out how you can get involved now and make the October ASA even better than the first.
