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. This is the one event in Atlanta where YOU are the event! Come play in the streets again and help us bring life to Atlanta’s streets.
Organized by the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition in partnership with volunteers from Atlanta Downtown Improvement District and Central Atlanta Progress, Atlanta Regional Commission, and the office of Atlanta City Council Member Kwanza Hall, Atlanta Streets Alive 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!
