Wheelbarrow festival

💛 THANK YOU, REYNOLDSTOWN! 💙 What a day! The 30th Anniversary Reynoldstown Wheelbarrow Festival was one for the books, and we’re still feeling the love. 🎉 A huge thank you to our incredible volunteers, sponsors, local businesses, vendors, musicians, artists, partners, and everyone in our community who showed up, pitched in, celebrated, and helped make this year’s festival so special. This year’s 30th Anniversary celebration was especially meaningful because we had the opportunity to hear directly from four of the original Wheelbarrow Festival founders during our special anniversary recognition. Hearing them share the stories behind how and why the festival began was a powerful reminder that, at its heart, the Wheelbarrow Festival has always been about community. Thirty years later, that spirit is still going strong. ❤️ Stay tuned for a recap video. From longtime Reynoldstown neighbors to new residents, families, friends, local businesses, and community partners—thank you for continuing to make the Wheelbarrow Festival a celebration by the community, for the community. 30 years of memories. 30 years of neighbors. 30 years of community. #WheelbarrowFestival #Reynoldstown #RCIL #30Years #ReynoldstownStrong #CommunityFestival

💛 In two weeks, we’ll celebrate 30 years of community, inclusion and support at the Reynoldstown Wheelbarrow Festival. Join us Saturday, Sept. 19, from noon to 7 p.m. at Lang-Carson Park. Did you know the festival’s name honors Reynoldstown’s historic roots? It symbolizes the hardworking residents who built and sustained the neighborhood, wheelbarrows in hand. What started in 1996 as a single-night neighborhood theater production has grown into Reynoldstown’s signature celebration. Over three decades, the festival has brought gospel music, porch performances and street parades to the community—all while using art and music to empower residents. Today, as the Reynoldstown Civic Improvement League’s largest annual fundraiser, the festival supports initiatives including affordable housing, greenspaces, community building and senior outreach. Come celebrate 30 years of neighbors showing up for neighbors with live music, local art, food trucks, a Kids Zone, a cornhole tournament and Atlanta’s tiniest race.
