Atlanta plans street dance, approves Aug. 29 block closure for neighborhood celebration
Summary
Council heard an event update from Jennifer on July 4th and festival preparations, approved a street dance for Aug. 22, and voted to close one block of Broadway on Aug. 29 for a neighborhood celebration (6 p.m.–11 p.m.).
Jennifer, a town staffer, updated the council on recent event planning and advertising for summer community events and the town's Fourth of July activities. “I just wanna say a big thank you to, Luke and Matt for, getting the holds ready and and Main Street ready for the, 4th of July,” she told the council and described vendor placement, advertising buys (Shine 99; radio spots planned for WIBC and WWKI) and that trash boxes for the festival had arrived.
Council members discussed logistics for an upcoming street dance planned for Saturday, Aug. 22, and confirmed ongoing vendor coordination. Later in the meeting the council considered and approved a separate request to close the last block of Broadway on Aug. 29 from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. for a neighborhood celebration; the motion passed by voice vote and town staff will place barricades and coordinate event needs.
The approvals leave staff with follow-up tasks: finalizing vendor lists and signage, arranging barricades and traffic control for the Aug. 29 closure, and completing festival advertising and vendor placement before the events.
