The Strut also features the beers of Creature Comforts Brewing, including Classic City Lager.  Beneficiaries of this all-volunteer-run festival include the Free99Fridge project and Pet Buddies Atlanta.

Here’s how you can Strut:

Volunteer: We are completely volunteer-run and all our proceeds go back into next year’s Strut and to other community nonprofits. 

Sponsor: We can get your company’s name in front of thousands of people.

Compete in a crazy contest: Highlights include the Strut Your Bake rum-dessert bake-off and the Leaf Blower Madness Tournament. Tasters and spectators are welcome. 

Plant seeds of fun: Strut Your Garden or come Strut through some gardens.

Strut your talent, art, or business: We’ll provide the spot, you provide the goods.  

Be a host house: Do you live in East Atlanta and have space for a tent or a band? You, too, can be the Strut. 

We’ll see you on 9/25. Thanks!
Contact info@eastatlantastrut.com if you need more info.
