Rain Can’t Dampen Spirits as Peachtree Comes Alive

Streets Alive took over Peachtree Street in Midtown and Downtown on Sunday afternoon, transforming more than two-and-a-half miles of Atlanta’s premier street into an oasis.

Even a heavy downpour in the late afternoon did little to curb enthusiasm that pulsed along the corridor as bicyclists and pedestrians took advantage of street supremacy over four-wheeled vehicles. There were street performers, food vendors, and tons of activities to keep people occupied — not to mention the people watching.

The event followed up the wildly successful four-mile route, linking nine neighborhoods on the City’s south side, that brought an estimated 80,000 attendees out in April.

Streets Alive will take a break through the heat of summer, returning to Highland Avenue in late September.
