District 4 welcomes inaugural Brookhaven International Festival

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

City of Brookhaven hosts celebration at Peachtree Creek Greenway

Brookhaven, GA, Aug. 1, 2023 – An assortment of cultures will be woven together on Saturday, Oct. 21, and Sunday, Oct. 22, 2023, to create what will be Brookhaven’s annual International Festival along the Peachtree Creek Greenway.

This festival will be the City’s first major event along the Buford Highway Cultural Corridor. The Brookhaven International Festival will feature a variety of live cultural performances and music, international cuisine, an art walk, interactive art creation, a Kidz Zone, health screenings and vendors. A 5K walk/run will take place Sunday, Oct. 22. 

In 2022, the City officially designated the vibrant community of Buford Highway as the Buford Highway Cultural Corridor to highlight the rich heritage and support the diverse arts and cultural initiatives and public art that are accessible for and representative of all residents. This celebration will bring all cultures on the Corridor and region into one area to encourage multicultural exchanges.

“This celebration is something that I have envisioned for a while now, so to watch it come to fruition is remarkable at what a community can do when seeking to strengthen ties along cultural divides.  It fosters cross-cultural understanding, promotes unity, and provides an opportunity for people to learn about and appreciate the richness of global heritage,” District 4 Councilman John Funny said. “The Buford Highway Cultural Corridor greatly enriches Brookhaven’s community. We want to share this culturally enriched community with the state, region, and beyond.”
