Where is the Midtown District, anyway?

Attend our after-hours events and special programs.

Meet other Midtown workers and residents, get updates and insight about projects happening in the district, and socialize at more than a dozen member events Midtown Alliance will host in 2018. On deck:

These are exciting times in the heart of our city.

New companies and residents moving in. New buildings going up. More activity at street-level to make people feel welcome. We’re Midtown Alliance, a nonprofit coalition of business and civic leaders working to make Midtown Atlanta an exceptional urban place.
