Weekend 2026 activities.

“404 Day! has always been about celebrating the heartbeat of our city and its people,” said representatives of The 404 Collective. “This year, we again demonstrated what’s possible when culture, community, and leadership align with intention, safely and responsibly.”

With continued support from partners including The Athletes Foot (TAF), Discover Atlanta (UATL), Grady Health System, Delta Community Credit Union, Atlanta Falcons, MARTA, United Way, 100 Black Men of America, DTLR, Hot 107.9, V-103, Tito’s, Midtown Social, The Doux, The Atlanta Beltline, WABE, Underground Atlanta, and more, 404 Day! Weekend 2026 further solidified its place as one of the city’s most impactful cultural celebrations.
