Party on the PATH Returns October 4 for Evening of Music, Tapas and Community
Celebration benefits Livable Buckhead, features VIP gallery reception and silent auction
ATLANTA – Sept. 22, 2026 – Join Livable Buckhead on Sunday, Oct. 4 for an evening of live music, Spanish-style tapas, and fall in Buckhead. Party on the PATH benefits Livable Buckhead’s work to expand sustainability, greenspace, public art and other initiatives that make the community an even better place to live, work and play.
Now a fall tradition, Party on the PATH celebrates PATH400, Livable Buckhead’s signature project. Nearly five miles of the 5.2-mile trail are now open, linking neighborhoods, businesses, parks and transit. The section north of Loridans Dr. is expected to be complete in early 2027, when it will connect to Sandy Springs, and connections to Peachtree Park and the Atlanta Beltline are expected to begin construction next year.
To mark PATH400’s expansion beyond Buckhead, Atlanta City Council Representative Thomas Worthy, Brookhaven Mayor John Park, Dunwoody Mayor Lynn Deutsch and Sandy Springs City Council Representative Mary Ford join a VIP reception from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Johnson Lowe Gallery. The civic leaders will engage in a discussion about “One Path, Four Cities, A Region Connected.” Guests also will enjoy a private cocktail hour, early access to the silent auction, a curated reception gift and a private viewing of the gallery’s fall exhibitions, “The Structure of Ruins” by Rush Baker IV and “The Second Body,” a group exhibition.
The main party opens at 6:30 p.m. at Eclipse di Luna and continues through 9 p.m., featuring tapas, drinks and live music from Atlanta Soul Band. General admission tickets are $100 and include tapas and two drink tickets. VIP tickets are $125 and include the VIP reception, unlimited beer and wine, signature Crimson Harvest sangria and a curated gift bag. Tickets are available at livablebuckhead.org/pop.
The Party on the PATH silent auction will take place online from Sept. 19 through Oct. 4 at 8:45 p.m. Featured items include a seven-night stay for four in Manciano, Italy, valued at $4,550; four mezzanine-level tickets to the Atlanta Falcons vs. San Francisco 49ers game on Oct. 25, valued at $800; and a Med Spa Gift Basket from Medical Creations Atlanta featuring supplements and an Advatx facial laser treatment, valued at $300. Additional auction items will be available, with proceeds supporting PATH400 and Livable Buckhead.
“Everything we do is about connection,” said Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead. “Party on the PATH celebrates those connections between people and places and helps us raise the money that lets us keep building them.”
