Beats On The Block Season 3 Episode 2 Photo Gallery: Atlanta's Dance Community Keeps Growing
WRITTEN BY CAT MARTINEZ
On June 6, 2026, hundreds of dancers, music lovers, artists, flow performers, families, and friends gathered once again at Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark in Atlanta, Georgia for Beats On The Block Season 3 Episode 2, presented by Advanced Health Solutions.
What started as a simple idea, to create a free, welcoming place for Atlanta's electronic dance music community to meet, continues to grow into one of the city's most vibrant recurring dance gatherings.
Every episode brings new faces, familiar hugs, spontaneous dance circles, incredible local DJs, vendors, artists, and countless moments that remind us why community matters.
This gallery captures just a small glimpse of everything that made Episode 2 so special.
New Here? Here's What Beats On The Block Is.
Beats On The Block (formerly Beats On The Beltline) is a free community event created by Atlanta EDM and Connect Atlanta with one simple mission:
Bring people together through dance music.
No expensive ticket.
No dress code.
No pressure.
Just great music, good people, and a safe space where everyone is welcome to come exactly as they are.
The event began as casual community park meetups before growing into today's multi-stage experience featuring local DJs, performers, vendors, activations, food, flow arts, and thousands of attendees throughout each season.
If you'd like to learn more about how the event began, check out our original feature from Season 3 Episode 1, where we share the full story behind Beats On The Block and how this community came to life.
Season 3 Episode 2
Episode 2 continued the momentum from our Season 3 kickoff with another unforgettable afternoon at Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark.
Throughout the day the park transformed into a vibrant celebration of Atlanta's electronic music community.
As Episode 2 took place during Pride Month, we were also proud to celebrate Atlanta's LGBTQ+ community with a special guest appearance from drag performer Brigitte Bidet, whose energy, charisma, and unforgettable performance brought an extra layer of joy and self-expression to the day. It was a beautiful reminder that Beats On The Block is a space where everyone is welcome, celebrated, and encouraged to be unapologetically themselves.
Local DJs kept the energy flowing across the park while dancers, hoopers, glovers, shuffle crews, photographers, artists, vendors, and first-time attendees all shared the same space.
One of our favorite things about Beats On The Block is watching complete strangers become friends by the end of the day.
Whether someone came to dance for eight hours, relax on a picnic blanket, discover new artists, support local vendors, or simply experience Atlanta's dance music culture for the first time, everyone contributed to the atmosphere that makes this event so unique.
Every season reminds us that Atlanta's electronic music scene isn't just growing, it's becoming more connected.
To everyone who attended, volunteered, performed, vended, photographed, helped behind the scenes, or simply shared a smile with someone new:
Thank you for helping make this community what it is.
