The emphasis of Atlanta Streets Alive is activity, and activity partners are discouraged from selling goods or providing paid services along the route. The lack of street vending and support for local businesses is part of what sets Atlanta Streets Alive apart. If you are a vendor, you may take this opportunity to set up a fun activity and make contacts. But please do not vend. Please note: businesses that are located on the route are allowed to sell as usual.

Some businesses will partner with food trucks in certain areas where there aren't many food options, but this is organized and managed by Route Hosts (businesses along the route).
