The City of Peachtree Corners has announced the launch of its new, innovative community calendar, designed to foster greater connectivity, inclusivity and engagement among residents, businesses and community organizations.

This cutting-edge tool offers a personalized approach to community involvement by allowing users to register and receive tailored notifications about events that matter most to them.

Submitting events

Another exciting function of the new online calendar is that it will allow businesses, nonprofits and members of the community to add their own public events.

“We are thrilled to introduce a platform that not only informs our residents about upcoming events but also encourages them to participate more actively in community life,” said Louis Svehla, director of communications and public affairs. “The community calendar reflects our commitment to ensuring that Peachtree Corners remains a vibrant and welcoming place for everyone.”

Key features of the calendar

Personalized event notifications: Registered users can select their areas of interest — ranging from entertainment events to city council and commission meetings — and receive timely notifications tailored to their preferences.
User-submitted events: Businesses, residents, non-profits and community leaders are invited to contribute to the calendar by submitting their own events. This feature ensures a diverse and comprehensive listing of events around the city.
Event registration: Each listed event will offer the opportunity for users to register for the event. This registration allows the posting party to see who will be attending.
Event search functionality: Do you like certain events? Looking for something tailored to children, concerts or government meetings? The calendar allows you to filter events by event type as well as audience type.

How to register

Signing up is simple. Residents, businesses and organizations can visit the online calendar page to create an account and customize their event preferences. Once registered, users can begin receiving notifications and submitting events right away.

“Our goal is to make Peachtree Corners a more connected community where everyone has access to events that inspire, educate and entertain,” said City Manager Brian Johnson. “We encourage all residents and community members to sign up and be part of this exciting new initiative.”

The launch of the community calendar marks another significant step in Peachtree Corners’ ongoing efforts to leverage technology to enhance the quality of life for its residents. The city invites everyone to explore this dynamic new resource and take advantage of the opportunities it offers.

Maintenance and repairs will take place from March through July; the deck will remain open to the public throughout

Starting the week of March 24, the City of Peachtree Corners will begin scheduled maintenance and repairs on the Town Center Parking Deck. These improvements are expected to continue through July 2025 and are necessary to ensure the longevity of the structure.

During this period, the deck will remain open to the public, but the repair areas will be temporarily closed on a rolling basis. These closures will allow crews to efficiently complete the necessary work while minimizing disruption to tenants, customers and residents.

To assist with navigation, directional signage, barriers and other safety measures will be in place to guide drivers and pedestrians safely around work areas. For public safety, drivers must follow the directional signage and only park in the open sections of the deck.

The city appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation as they work to maintain a safe and well-functioning parking facility.
