No Tables, No Chairs

NOTE: Due to forecasted storms on Saturday, No Tables, No Chairs has been moved to Sunday, April 26. The location has also changed to the Great Lawn at Shirley Clarke Franklin Park (Entrance I).

Get ready to move at No Tables, No Chairs, a funk-filled festival created by Mausiki Scales and the Common Ground Collective that celebrates the vibrant rhythms of the African Diaspora. Since 2011, this free event has brought music, movement, and community to the Beltline with a lively mix of DJ sets, performances, a parade, and a free evening concert.

The day kicks off with music from DJ Ear Dr. and interactive Funky Fun Stations, where attendees can create their own Mardi Gras/Junkanoo-inspired headpieces for the parade. Later in the afternoon, everyone is invited to join the Funk-line as Mausiki Scales & the Common Ground Collective, the Atlanta Junkanoo Band, and other performers lead a high-energy parade celebrating the sounds and spirit of the African Diaspora. The celebration continues into the evening with free live music performances that keep the rhythm going.
