Come and experience a bit of Japan as the GVJCI breezeway is transformed into a yokocho! (Yokocho is Japanese for “alleyway,” but it has grown in meaning to refer to the narrow streets packed with izakayas, bars, and eateries tucked away in Japan's busy streets.)

Drawing inspiration from Japan’s post-war Showa era, you’ll be immersed in the sights, smells, sounds and tastes of a bustling Japanese alleyway brought to you by the team behind the Shokudo series.

Early bird tickets $20 through March 13th!

General admission $30 March 14th - April 12th

To commemorate the third anniversary of the 03/16/2021 Atlanta Spa Shootings, we gather to honor the victims and their families, and to reinforce a message of unity, resilience and community strength. This year's theme "Stand Together" is a poignant reminder of our collective commitment to standing united against hate and violence.
