About the Stride
Atlanta’s biggest block party returns to the Upper Westside this fall. On Sunday, Nov. 8, the fourth-annual Westside Stride will bring live music, a vendor and artist market, culinary experiences and children’s activities to Howell Mill Road for one fun-filled afternoon.
Building on the success of the past three years, the 2026 Westside Stride Block Party will include multiple stages featuring live performances in a variety of musical genres. Families will enjoy kid-friendly activities like a petting zoo and a variety of bounce houses.
In addition to perusing the pop-up market with vendors offering a range of items from art to crafts to experiences, attendees will have the chance to discover and support the many shops, restaurants and amenities the district has to offer.
Westside Stride is an annual event that encourages attendees to hit the pavement and enjoy a car-free afternoon along Howell Mill Road between 8th Street and 17th Street. Pedestrians, bicycles, strollers, rollers and scooters are welcome. For those arriving by vehicle, nearby parking is easy and plentiful, find parking options here: www.upperwestsideatl.org/parking.
