Central Atlanta Progress and the City of Atlanta are hosting “Downtown Day” – an all-day and all-night celebration on Wednesday, Oct. 22 – to showcase the energy, innovation, and investment shaping Downtown Atlanta’s future.

The event, which lasts from 9:30 am to 1 a.m., will highlight the work being done to develop the Downtown area ahead of next year’s FIFA World Cup and celebrate the businesses making up the neighborhood.

The festivities kick off with an update on The Stitch, the 17-acre project reconnecting Downtown with a ¾-mile platform spanning the I-75/85 Connector between Ted Turner Drive and Piedmont Avenue. At 9:30 a.m., visitors will be able to immerse themselves in augmented reality visuals of the future project and take a live walking tour of the future park.
