Recap: Atlanta Streets Alive Fall 2012
Well over 20,000 people took over Highland Avenue, Virginia Avenue and the brandspank’n new Atlanta BeltLine Eastside Trail for four-hours on October 7, 2012. The weather was clear and cool as thousands rode, walked, skated or ate their way through the 5 mile route. Maria Saporta gave an excellent review of Atlanta Streets Alive, which can be found here. It’s all about creating safer, healthier, more livable Atlanta streets, for all to enjoy.
Next event: May 19, 2013
2PM-6PM
Our next event is planned for May 19th, 2013 on Peachtree Street! Three miles of Atlanta’s signature street will be transformed for four-hours into car-free community space to ride, walk, play, dance and rock and roll. Look for activities all along the route including local acoustic musicians, a capella groups, marching bands, alongside classes such as salsa dancing, yoga, zumba and thousands of people out riding their bikes and walking.
How to Participate:
1) Join the volunteer committee. We’re looking for volunteers to help with community outreach, fundraising, marketing and day of execution.
2) Organize an activity or class (No outside vendors allowed, no sales, just pure activities) Register here: www.AtlantaStreetsAlive.com/activity
3) Share with friends, family and neighbors to reach our goal of 30,000 people out on 3 miles of Atlanta’s Peachtree Street.
