Freaknik, the city-wide block party that stalled the city of Atlanta in ’93, is returning with a more “family friendly” format this Summer, June 22, at the Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood.
The one-day event was announced by Freaknik veteran, Uncle Luke who shared on Twitter that he along with Atlanta-based production company After 9 are resurrecting the famous party after its 20-year absence.
The new “family friendly” event is set to feature performances from Project Pat, Foxy Brown, Bun B., Twista, Lil Scrappy and more.
According to Atlanta Magazine, Freaknik was initially started by the Atlanta University Center DC Metro club when they “threw a picnic in Piedmont Park for students who found themselves stuck on campus over spring break.” The picnic would grow larger and larger over the years until becoming a must-visit destination for acts like Snoop Dogg and Queen Latifah.

The Atlanta publication noted 100,000 students flocked to the city in the spring of 1993 to attend the festival.
