Fire in the Fourth Festival

The Old Fourth Ward Business Association announced partnerships with the Atlanta Fire Foundation and the Imperial OPA Circus for the inaugural Fire in the 4th Festival taking place on Edgewood and Auburn Avenues, between Boulevard and Jackson in the historic Old Fourth Ward on Saturday May 2, 2015 from 2 to 10 p.m. A non-profit organization established for the purpose of providing Atlanta’s firefighters with state-of-the-art equipment, education and training, the partnership with the Atlanta Fire Foundation was a natural fit for the festival that will pay homage to the historic Great Atlanta Fire of 1917 that devastated the Old Fourth Ward. Additionally, The Atlanta Fire Foundation will bring Metro Atlanta fire rescue musters teams to compete and host fire safety awareness activities. Keeping the entertaining going, the popular Imperial OPA Circus will be serving as the festival’s curator of street performances and fire-themed gallery. Established in 2010, the OPA continues to be at the forefront of avant-garde circus performing in Atlanta and beyond.
