Atlanta Streets Alive returns to Peachtree Street on April 19th

Atlanta Streets Alive: Enjoy 3 miles of Peachtree St. with NO TRAFFIC!

 
Streets Alive will return to Peachtree Street in 2026. 
Here’s how it works:
On select Sunday afternoons, for four glorious hours, three miles of Peachtree Street will be closed to cars — and open for people to stroll, roll, bike, and play!

The Streets Alive Peachtree Route stretches from downtown to midtown, right through the heart of the city. Peachtree Street will be closed from Alabama Street, downtown, to 15th Street in midtown. (See the map, below.)

Here’s what to expect…

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, so you can create your own experience. 

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. 

The idea is to OPT OUT of traffic. 
Getting to Atlanta Streets Alive is easy by MARTA, by bike, or any human-powered mode of transportation. 

Streets Alive creates a a whole new healthy and vibrant city street experience  in Atlanta.
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!

Electric bikes and scooters are allowed, but please maintain a safe speed.
Leashed dogs are allowed.

There will be designated vehicle crossing points along the way, where Atlanta police will be directing traffic. These include Pine, Linden, North, Ponce, Edgewood, and other main streets that cross Peachtree.
Visit the Streets Alive website for more info.
