East Atlanta Strut 2026

East Atlanta Village & Brownwood Park | Atlanta, GA
FREE Bike Valet Provided by Two Wheel Valet ATL
Get ready to Strut! The East Atlanta Strut returns Saturday, September 26, for a full day celebrating the people, businesses, artists, musicians, and unmistakable personality of East Atlanta.
Since 1998, the East Atlanta Strut has been completely organized and run by volunteers. More than just a neighborhood festival, the Strut gives back: 100% of festival profits are returned to the community, with more than $100,000 donated in recent years to local nonprofits, schools, organizations supporting neighbors experiencing homelessness and food insecurity, child mentoring programs, pet rescues, arts organizations, neighborhood beautification projects, and other community initiatives—particularly smaller nonprofits serving the 30316 area.
The festivities officially kick off at noon with the famous Strut Parade, followed by activities throughout East Atlanta Village, surrounding neighborhood streets, and Brownwood Park. Expect live music, artist markets, food and drinks, Porchfest performances, local businesses, family and pet activities, and some uniquely East Atlanta traditions—including favorites such as Leaf Blower Madness and Llama Poop Bingo.
The day actually gets moving before the festival begins with the Strut 5K at 8:30 AM, a community run/walk through the streets of East Atlanta that also raises funds for local nonprofit organizations.
And this year, there’s another reason to leave the car at home: Two Wheel Valet ATL will provide FREE, secure bike valet throughout the entire East Atlanta Strut! Ride your bike, e-bike, scooter, OneWheel, or other micromobility device into the neighborhood, check it with us, and spend the day exploring the Strut without worrying about where to park your wheels.
