Streets Alive will continue in the fall of 2024, but will move to the Southwest Route. This beloved open street event has dates scheduled in September, October, and November.

Hours for each date are 1 to 5 p.m.

On select Sunday afternoons, for four glorious hours, over three miles of Georgia Avenue and Ralph David Abernathy Blvd. will be closed to cars — and open for people to stroll, roll, bike, and play!

This Southwest Streets Alive route stretches from Atlanta’s West End to Grant Park, connecting seven Southwest Atlanta neighborhoods — including Westview, Historic West End, Adair Park, Pittsburgh, Mechanicsville, Beecher-Donnelly, and Summerhill.

New to Streets Alive? Here’s how it works!

Streets Alive is FREE and it’s for everyone. You don’t have to be an athlete to join in. It doesn’t matter how old you are or what neighborhood you live in. Even if you’ve never heard of the Open Street concept before, you’re invited to get out and experience it firsthand.

The open street route has no formal beginning or end. You can hop on at any point you like. The flow of people will move in both directions, like it does on the Beltline.

This is a chance for you to EXPLORE our city. You can stroll, roll, shop, eat, play, socialize, or simply enjoy the spring weather — all without the noise, fumes, and intensity of Atlanta’s traffic. You create your own experience and the possibilities are endless.

The idea is to OPT OUT traffic. Getting to Atlanta Streets Alive is easy by MARTA, by bike, or any human-powered mode of transportation. Consider challenging yourself to leave your car at home all day and, if you have to drive, then carpool with others. (We realize some of you have to drive to a MARTA station!)

Streets Alive creates a a whole new healthy and vibrant city street experience in Atlanta. It’s a program inspired by open streets projects all over the world. So bring your bicycle, your skateboard, or just your feet, and get ready to explore your community streets in a safer, healthier, more livable way!

We recommend the Marta On The Go app for easy access to rail maps and timetables. Remember, trains run less often on Sundays, usually every 20 minutes.

NOTE: If you live or work in the area, be sure you’re aware of street closures in the area.
