Five years ago, Atlanta ranked 51st in the nation for park access. Today, we’ve reached our best-ever finish: 21st out of 100 cities. That kind of progress doesn’t happen by accident… it happens when a city believes every resident deserves access to nature, to community, to joy. Proud of Atlanta.
One of my favorite events of the year is back — and it’s bigger than ever. The 48th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival returns to Piedmont Park May 24-26, 2025, right in time for Memorial Day Weekend. And the best part? It’s completely FREE. So grab your picnic blanket, call your crew, and meet me there!

Atlanta is a beacon of hope. A city where all feel welcome and all feel love.
Love looks like progress. Like protecting our youth and seniors. Like clearing our streets of gangs and guns. Like feeding the hungry and housing the homeless.
