You are invited to the Cookout!

The Cookout ATL is a community oriented event in celebration of generations of popular Black dance and music. From Blues to Afrobeat, the greatest music from the turn of the 20th century to today will be played for your dancing pleasure. If you Blues, Swing, Bop, Step, Drag, or Groove you'll find music that'll move you.

The event is based on and will center around the idea of the Cookout, a gathering of friends, food, and music. We'll have live music, a number of deejays, we'll be breaking bread, playing games, and enjoying each other's company at private Cookout gatherings as well as social public meetups to enjoy some of the best of what Atlanta has to offer.
