Musical acts announced for festival

Brookhaven has added more music acts to the lineup for this year’s 2022 Cherry Blossom Festival.

The music and arts festival will take place March 26-27 at Blackburn Park at 3493 Ashford Dunwoody Road. Americana artist Anderson East will headline on March 27, according to a press release. The city previously announced Joan Jett and the Blackhearts as the March 26 headliner.

Other artists set to play on March 26 include singer-songwriter Howie Day, a jam band called Dumpstaphunk, singer-songwriter Mike Kinnebrew, and singer Kaylin Amaro. On March 27, artists include the southern rock band Drivin N Cryin, country singer Morgan Wade, and singer-songwriter Brendan Abernathy.

“What better way to kick off the 2022 festival season,” said Brookhaven Mayor John Ernst. “We continue to be grateful for our partnership with Live Nation in bringing these A+ acts to Brookhaven.”

City designates ‘Buford Highway Cultural Corridor’ New apartments aim to serve Brookhaven medical hub

Brookhaven officials are celebrating Buford Highway.

The Brookhaven City Council voted to name the area of Buford Highway the “Buford Highway Cultural Corridor” at a Jan. 11 meeting, officially designating the area as a cultural hub of the city. Multiple city officials gathered at the Northeast Plaza Shopping Center at 3307 Buford Highway on Feb. 18 to officially introduce the resolution to the public.

The designation will serve as the first step in an attempt to revamp the area and celebrate its multi-cultural aspects.

“It gives us the opportunity to honor and celebrate the heritage and contributions of the cultural and ethnically diverse community of this vibrant area,” said Councilmember John Funny. “As a vision document, it sets the foundation to bring about the improvements in the quality of life that every community wants.” The resolution calls for the city and the Brookhaven Chamber of Commerce to collaborate more with the cities of Chamblee and Doraville to coordinate arts and cultural events in the corridor. It also calls for the city to work with the ChambleeDoraville Community Improvement District to advance capital improvement projects for Buford Highway.

The resolution includes a focus on the incorporation of public art into Buford Highway’s streetscapes as well as the development of an annual international festival. The plan would also have the city collaborate with local nonprofits, such as We Love Buford Highway and the Latin American Association, to foster educational opportunities that support local arts in the area.

The Allen Morris Company has broken ground on Bryn House, a mixed-use luxury apartment community on North Druid Hills Road.

The five-story, 337-unit residential building will include 2,000 square feet of ground floor retail, including a coffee shop and wine bar connected to a pocket park. Additional amenities will include an elevated pool deck with private cabanas, gym, event space, game room, and dog park.

The new community will support the housing needs for healthcare workers at the Brookhaven medical hub that includes Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) and Emory University.
