The Atlanta Voice opened its doors to the community for a joyful Midday Open House, marking six decades of storytelling, advocacy, and community connection. The celebration was more than an anniversaryโ€”it was a vibrant reflection of the publicationโ€™s mission to inform, uplift, and empower Metro Atlanta.

Throughout the afternoon, guests enjoyed a lively drop-in experience that blended nostalgia with forward-thinking energy. From guided peeks into current initiatives to sneak previews of whatโ€™s launching next, visitors got a firsthand look at how The Atlanta Voice continues to evolve while staying true to its roots.

WAREhouse Studio buzzed with conversation as longtime supporters, community partners, and new friends mingled with The Atlanta Voice staff. Laughter and stories filled the air as attendees shared memories of the publicationโ€™s impact and envisioned the next 60 years together.

Light bites, sweet treats, and refreshing drinks kept the celebration flowing, with a special thank you to our incredible vendors โ€” 360 Photo Booth EventzWorld Renowned CateringCourtneyโ€™s Creations of Atlanta, and Jailan Jagne โ€” for adding flavor, fun, and flair to the day.

โ€œThis milestone isnโ€™t just about where weโ€™ve beenโ€”itโ€™s about where weโ€™re headed,โ€ said Publisher Janis Ware. โ€œThe Atlanta Voice has always been about amplifying the voices of our community, and that mission continues stronger than ever.โ€
