Town Center Grand Opening Set For Saturday, April 27
It’s been a long time coming – but the day to celebrate the completion of the city’s Town Center is upon us. On Saturday, April 27, the afternoon will be filled with fun activities, music, food and more as we revel in the culmination of years of planning, designing and constructing of our Town Center.
The Grand Opening of the all-new Town Green at Town Center on Saturday, April 27th from 4 pm – 9 pm. Admission is FREE to enjoy the grand opening parade, DJ, strolling performers and a variety of food vendors. Fans can also visit one of the many restaurants located within the Town Center and bring food to the Town Green.
The festivities will get underway with a parade at 4 p.m. Starting at Peachtree Corners Circle and Medlock Bridge Road, the parade will march along Medlock Bridge and Town Center Boulevard. The community is invited to watch the parade along the parade route and then join in at the end as the parade leads everyone into the new Town Center.
The City Council will be on stage at the Town Green to welcome everyone at the conclusion of the parade. After that, there will be a DJ playing music and strolling entertainment throughout the afternoon. At 8 p.m. the Atlanta Rhythm Section will perform on stage. Following the concert will be a drone show that will light up the night sky.
“The Council and I are delighted to finally announce the opening of our Town Center,” said Mayor Mike Mason. “This is an exciting day for the city. Our new Town Center will be a place to make memories. We invite the Peachtree Corners community to come and celebrate with us.”
On-site parking is limited, but there is plenty of parking at off-site locations along Peachtree Corners Circle and shuttles will be running continuously. Look for signs to parking lots posted along Peachtree Parkway. Carpooling is encouraged. For this event, no pets or coolers please. (Both will be welcomed at other events.) Refreshments will be available for purchase, but no tickets are required for the Grand Opening event or the Atlanta Rhythm Section concert.
Town Center Timeline
Turning a 21-acre tract of land into a place that would become the central gathering place for community was no small feat. The city was barely six months old when it took a giant step in purchasing the land that was destined for 267 garden-style apartments and creating instead a special place for all our citizens to enjoy.
The concept for a Town Center was developed from a Livable Center Initiative (LCI) study in which citizens were polled – the overwhelming majority wanted to see a city center on the undeveloped property. The property then was rezoned to accommodate a mixed-use development, a design concept was approved, a contractor selected, Fuqua, then finally a groundbreaking in June 2017.
The new development is filled with shops, restaurants, entertainment venues – and at the center is a 2+ acre Town Green. The large oval-shaped lawn is surrounded by two open air pavilions, performance stage, large screen TVs, café tables – and a veterans’ monument to honor our men and women who served or are serving our country. Additionally, construction on 72 townhomes will begin soon.
The all-new Town Green is located off Peachtree Parkway directly across from the Forum in the Town Center shopping center at 5140 Town Center Blvd.
