On May 19, Fulton County residents are invited to come together for a community-wide celebration of voting—bringing neighbors, local leaders, and civic organizations together to mark the primary election with connection, pride, and shared purpose.

Hosted by Project HALO and local partners, this signature event at Piedmont Park will feature live music, food, and family-friendly activities in a welcoming outdoor setting. The celebration is part of a broader effort to strengthen confidence in elections by creating a visible, community-centered presence around voting—reminding every resident that they belong, their voice matters, and they are supported when they participate.

Throughout the day, attendees will have opportunities to connect with trusted community organizations, learn about ways to get involved as poll workers or community volunteers, and take part in activities that highlight the role we all play in sustaining strong, accessible, and trustworthy elections.

Project HALO is a nonpartisan initiative working with veterans, faith leaders, legal professionals, and civic organizations to support voters and election officials across Fulton County. Through community events like this one, HALO aims to build confidence, strengthen connections, and ensure that elections are not only secure and accessible—but also something communities can come together to celebrate.

All are welcome. Come celebrate, connect, and be part of it.
