By MARTA The nearest MARTA stations are Midtown and Arts Center, both located just a few blocks from the Park. Upon exiting the Midtown Station, take 10th Street towards Peachtree Street and continue on 10th until you reach Piedmont Avenue. Turn left on Piedmont Avenue and walk two blocks to the 12th and 14th Street gates of Piedmont Park. (or you can continue walking on 10th Street and the park will soon be on your left side). Exit the Arts Center Station heading south on West Peachtree street for one block. Head east (go left) on 14th Street for three blocks until you reach the 14th Street entrance to the Park. By CAR There will be several pay to park lots around the park, including the parking lot at Grady High School on 1oth St., which is across the street from the Charles Allen Gate. However, they are somewhat expensive to use ($10 - $20). MARTA is recommended.
Adam Brackman Parade Contact, Jeff Graham, Cell # 404-2138915 (bring this
number with you) The parade will be on Sunday, November 1st. The parade
assembles at the MARTA Civic Center Station at
the intersection of West Peachtree St. and Ralph McGill
Blvd. Please use MARTA to get to the assembly area as
there is no parking in this area. Though the parade steps off at 1 pm, it takes a few hours to
coordinate all of the participants. Therefore,
Marchers should arrive no later than 12 noon. You
may arrive as early as 11:30am. Volunteers will
be available to assist you in locating your assembly position.
Georgia Equality will be in Section F – we will have a
representative there no later than 11:30am, look for
our blue banner and our black “come out and vote”
signs. Other Groups in our Section (not necessarily in this
order): Port-a-potties will be available at the assembly area for use
by your group during the time before the parade begins. The parade travels from Ralph McGill Blvd. down Peachtree
Street. A right turn is made onto 10th Street and
the parade will end at the Charles Allen gate of
Piedmont Park. Marchers will be able to enter the
park through the Charles Allen gate.
