About No Tables, No Chairs
Since 2011, Mausiki Scales & the Common Ground Collective have electrified the Atlanta Beltline with its day-long parade, concert, and artist market. The funk-filled festival invites families to engage on a journey through the pulsating rhythms of the African Diaspora.
The day typically starts with DJ entertainment and free "Funky Fun Stations" where people can make their own unique Mardi Gras/Junkanoo-style headpieces for the parade. Then, everyone is invited to join in the Funk-line as Mausiki Scales and the Common Ground Collective, the Atlanta Junkanoo Band, and other performers take listeners on a quest through the vibrations of the African Diaspora.
The night ends with a series of free concert performances.
