Party on the PATH celebrates new section of PATH400

ATLANTA – October 7, 2019 – PATH400 is transforming Buckhead by creating pedestrian connections between many of the area’s most popular shopping and dining destinations. With the newest section of the trail nearing completion, Livable Buckhead is throwing a party to celebrate PATH400’s progress. On Sunday, October 20 from 6 to 9 p.m. the public is invited to Party on the PATH, an entertaining evening featuring food, drink, live music and a sneak peek trail tour. Party on the PATH will take place in Miami Circle, which will soon be within a short walk or bike ride of the center of Buckhead thanks to PATH400.

“I’ve given a lot of preview tours of the new section of the trail, and nearly everyone is surprised at how quickly you can get from Lenox Square to Miami Circle on foot,” said Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead. “That’s the magic of PATH400. We’re taking unused land and turning into a trail that lets people get to Buckhead’s great shops and restaurants without the hassle of traffic. Party on the PATH will give everyone a chance to see that for themselves and to have a great time while they’re at it.”

Party on the PATH will be begin with an hour of custom-crafted cocktails from ASW Distillery and tours of PATH400 using an interactive scavenger hunt created by Clue Town specifically for the event. That will be followed by dinner featuring a menu of tapas, tacos and Spanish desserts from Legendary Events. Party-goers will enjoy an open bar offering sangria, mojitos, wine and beer from Creature Comforts Brewing Company. The evening will conclude with dancing and live music from Willie Ziavino and his four-piece band playing a rhythmic and musical fusion of Trova Cubana, Salsa and Caribbean rhythms with elements of funk, pop and Brazilian beats.

When the newest section of PATH400 opens to the public, the 5.2-mile trail will be approximately 80 percent complete. The remaining sections of the trail are slated to be complete by 2023. Several other trails will connect to PATH400 in Buckhead, including extensions of PATH400 through Sandy Springs, Dunwoody and Roswell. Atlanta BeltLine Inc. is working to determine where it will connect to PATH400 as well.
