DECATUR, GA, UNITED STATES, October 17, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Compassionate Atlanta (CA) is thrilled to announce CompassionCon 2024, a vibrant intergenerational outdoor festival celebrating the power of compassion throughout Georgia’s communities. Join us on Sunday, October 27th, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Legacy Park in Decatur, GA as we bring together neighbors, families, and local leaders to promote equity, inclusion, and kindness.

This year’s festival will feature Be My Neighbor Day, presented in partnership with Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) and inspired by PBS Kids’ beloved character, Daniel Tiger. Families, and their pets, can participate in the costume parade, photo opportunities with Daniel Tiger, with interactive experiences that emphasize the importance of being a compassionate neighbor. The event is free and open to the public, though registration is encouraged.

CompassionCon 2024 will showcase live music, art displays, food trucks, wellness programs, and mobile healthcare services, ensuring there’s something for everyone. The festival’s layout will symbolize the ecosystem of a compassionate and inclusive community, illustrating how acts of kindness can create ripples of positive change.

Over the past 10 years, CA has engaged 25,000+ individuals, promoting compassionate action as the fabric of community building. Our goal to complete this year’s programming is to raise $30,000 to further our mission. If you are unable to attend, please consider donating on our website.
