ASA Peachtree 2014After a successful kick-off last month in West End for the 2014 editions of Atlanta Streets Alive, the event returns to Peachtree Street on May 18 from 2 to 6 p.m.

More than 3 miles of Peachtree will be blocked to traffic – from MLK Drive in Downtown Atlanta all the way up to 17th Street in Midtown. Walkers, cyclists and skaters are encouraged to explore the street where a multitude of activities, events and vendors will be set up. Many of the local businesses and restaurants will be open along the route, too.
