💃 The Joy Parade – Dance Walks to Uplift Atlanta

Ready to make friends, move your body, and spread joy around Asheville?

We’re The Joy Parade—a weekly movement party bringing people together to dance, connect, and create ripple effects of love and fun through our community.

Think:
Flash mob vibes. Feel-good music. Strangers becoming friends. Joy gone viral.

Whether you're a born dancer or just love the idea of play, you're welcome here.

This is about expression, not perfection.
We believe joy is medicine—and when we share it, it multiplies.
That’s the magic.

Friday! 12/12
1-2pm
Meet at Piedmont Park
Corner of 10th and Monroe Entrance
*be sure to get there on time - it's a parade so we'll be on the move*

What to expect:

  • Guided dance walk through town
  • Easy-to-follow moves & joyful beats (beginner friendly!)

  • A whole lotta fun

No experience needed. Just show up, be yourself, and dance it out.
