At People Make the Place, we share stories of individuals and their role in creating the Little 5 Points we know and love today. By telling more about these individuals and their dedication, the Alliance encourages a remembrance of how L5P came to be and inspires attendees to engage in the community and preserve its authentic space while shaping the future of this much-loved district. This annual fundraiser helps the L5P Alliance create a more safe, welcoming, and vibrant L5P by focusing on issues around:


For 2026 we'll be highlighting the importance of health & wellness to Little 5 Points identity as we honor the individuals who’ve made an impact. Health and wellness have long been woven into the fabric of Little 5, reflecting the neighborhood's independent spirit and community-centered values. From the early days of recruiting a pharmacy, pediatrician, dentist, and Atlanta’s first cooperative grocery store to today’s continuation of support for locally owned fitness studios, natural health retailers, and healthy food options, Little 5 Points continues to be a destination for those seeking authenticity, wellness, and community.

Wellness here goes beyond physical fitness - it means creating a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Walkable streets, vibrant public art, green spaces, live music, and locally owned businesses create an environment where people can recharge, explore, and feel inspired. And initiatives that help connect vulnerable individuals with health resources, supportive services, and opportunities ensures our community promotes dignity, stability, and well-being.

Together, we are building a Little Five Points that celebrates wellness, strengthens community, and creates opportunities for all people to live healthier, more connected lives.
