The Phoenix Flies: A Celebration of Atlanta's Historic Sites
March 8-23, 2014 |
The Atlanta Preservation Center’s A Phoenix Flies: A Celebration of Atlanta’s Historic Sites will be March 8-23, 2014. This unique annual celebration gives the public access to hundreds of free events at historic sites important to Atlanta’s past, present and future.
The Phoenix Flies Celebration includes guided walking tours, bicycle tours, exhibits, lectures and interactive children’s activities.
All events of the Celebration are offered on a first-come, first-served basis but many events require reservations. Events will be posted on the APC website in mid-February. APC members and Preservation Partners receive full-color, 50+ page programs of the event.
The APC is Atlanta's private non-profit preservation organization. Its mission is to promote the preservation of Atlanta's architecturally, historically and culturally significant buildings, neighborhoods and landscapes through education and advocacy.
To produce the celebration, the Atlanta Preservation Center (APC) coordinates the efforts of what are referred to as Preservation Partners. These organizations, business and individuals care for and promote historic sites in the City. Preservation Partners are not charged a fee to participate. The APC raises all funds necessary to produce and publicize the event with private donations, sponsorships and grants. The Celebration began in 2003 as a way to mark the 25th anniversary of the saving of the Fox Theatre, an event that is used to mark the beginning of Atlanta’s preservation movement. The first Phoenix Flies featured 40 events and 16 Preservation Partners. For the 11th celebration in 2014, the APC anticipates 200 events and 80 Preservation Partners. The celebration continues to grow as the public learns of the importance and pleasure of preserving Atlanta’s historic fabric.
