Buckhead Village’s popular Summer Fridays series kicked off its 2026 run Thursday evening, with live music, drink specials and shopping filling Buckhead Avenue from late afternoon into the night.

The series, now in its sixth year, runs every Friday evening through July 31. Participating restaurants offer to-go cocktails and special menus, and shoppers can take advantage of extended evening hours at many of the neighborhood’s retail stores.

“Summer Fridays is the heartbeat of Buckhead in the warm months,” said Buckhead Village District executive director Shirley Howard. “It brings people out of their offices and into the neighborhood to enjoy everything Buckhead has to offer.”
