Reaching New Heights: A Celebration of Neighbors, Nature, and PATH400

On Friday, September 26, join us at Mountain Way Common to celebrate Buckhead’s newest landmark with an afternoon of fall festivities, community spirit, and a ribbon cutting unlike any other. PATH400 is more than a trail. It is a vision for a greener, more connected Atlanta, and this soaring 80-foot bridge is a milestone that links neighbors, nature, and the future of our city’s trail network.

The celebration truly has something for everyone:

• Family Fun Zone – Sack races, bubbles, face painting, sidewalk chalk, and games that fill the park with laughter. Big laughs, bigger memories.
• Garden 684 – Kids pick mini pumpkins, families pose for festive fall photos, and everyone discovers the buzzing world of pollinators. Pumpkins, pollinators, and picture-perfect fun.
• Pup-Friendly Fun – Splash pad, tasty treats, free bandanas, and a festive dog parade up the bridge. A paw-sitively perfect celebration.

At 4:45, the big moment arrives. A joyful community procession of kids, families, and dogs leads to the ribbon cutting high above the trees. With one dramatic snip, the bridge comes alive as bubbles float across the treetops in a dazzling celebration.

Neighbors will share food, music, and memories thanks to the North Buckhead Civic Association, with local favorites like tacos, hot dogs, popsicles, and lemonade. Picnic blankets and hay bales invite everyone to relax and enjoy the park together.

Know before you go: Parking is limited, so walking, biking, or rideshare is encouraged. This is a family- and dog-friendly event, so bring comfy shoes, water, and your camera to capture the memories.

Come celebrate, make connections, and be part of the next chapter in Buckhead’s most unexpected park.
