Carnival Recess: The Day Party Kickoff

Before the road, before the fetes, before the madness… we recess.

Start Atlanta Carnival Weekend the right way at Carnival Recess, the official Thursday day party setting the tone for everything to come. The city starts filling up, the energy shifts, and this is where the vibes begin.

That perfect pre-weekend energy. Good food, strong drinks, hookah in the air, and DJs carrying you all the way through.

If you know the routine… this is your first stop.
