Peachtree Street will be closed today, Sunday, May 19, from 15th Street to Mitchell Street.

Vehicles will be able to cross Peachtree Street at intersections monitored by Atlanta police.

Atlanta Streets Alive is a free, all-ages event that not only encourages pedestrians and cyclists to attend, but also welcomes e-bikes, e-scooters, OneWheels, skateboards, Segways and similar devices.

And yes, you can bring your dogs (just make sure they are on leash and well behaved and be prepared to clean up after them.)

Atlanta Streets Alive will feature an outdoor karaoke party on the Peachtree Bridge over the Connector near the Medical Arts Building, a pop-up pickleball court just north of Hardy Ivy Park, a dance party in the Underground Atlanta outdoor plaza, more 15 artists painting murals on the drop-down doors along the route and plenty of vendors, music and food options along the way.

This year, Atlanta Streets Alive will take place on Sunday, May 19, Sunday, June 16, and Sunday, July 28, between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.
