The Reynoldstown Wheelbarrow Festival returns to Lang-Carson Park on Saturday, Sept. 13, from noon to 7 p.m. with live music, a local artist market, yard games, and family-friendly activities.
The .5K, Atlanta’s tiniest race, will once again wind its 0.31-mile route through the neighborhood, offering a cheeky, inclusive twist on the typical 5K, according to a press release.
There will also be an expanded Kids Zone along with cornhole, pickleball, and volleyball tournaments this year.
Founded in 1996, the Wheelbarrow Festival is the flagship event of the Reynoldstown Civic Improvement League (RCIL). Originally established to honor the neighborhood’s working-class legacy and tight-knit spirit, the festival has grown into Reynoldstown’s largest annual fundraiser and community event.
“Wheelbarrow is more than a festival,” RCIL Chair Lindalisa Severo said in a statement. “It’s a celebration of community, It’s a coming together of neighbors. And it’s an honoring of the unique spirit and resiliency of Reynoldstown.”
Through 10 active committees, RCIL tackles everything from affordable housing and greenspace improvements to public safety and senior outreach.
