Pic(k) of the Week: Taking a break

During a busy street festival, a waiter takes a break from restaurant service, around back.

East Atlanta Strut: Atlanta (East Atlanta Village), Georgia, USA. 28 September 2024.

The East Atlanta Strut, always on the fourth Saturday in September, combines a parade, a street festival with live music, artists' markets, and a 'porchfest' to show off the entire neighborhood. East Atlanta also has a thriving business district, with restaurants, bars, and shops showing off more local music and art.

Since its inception in 1988, the East Atlanta Strut has been completely run by volunteers. That allows the Strut to return 100% of its profits to the community. More than $100,000 has been donated in just the last few years — for programs that assist the unhoused, groups that feed people, organizations that help keep our longtime neighbors in their homes, and to support our local fire station and library, pet rescue groups, child mentoring groups, local schools, arts organizations, and neighborhood beautification projects.
