On Sunday, Atlanta’s popular Streets Alive celebration marked its second installment of the year, taking over Marietta Street and Howell Mill Road on the Westside.

Stretching from the heart of downtown at Five Points to Underwood Hills in Buckhead, the four-mile route offered an array of sites and experiences, including a real-life wedding in the middle of Marietta Street, near Centennial Olympic Park.
