ATLANTA — It’s April 4th and that means one thing in Atlanta: It’s 404 Day!

Consider 404 Day an official love letter to the City of Atlanta on a date that, of course, represents the city’s famous area code.

“The city has given so much to all of us as individuals and businesses, that I think it’s just important to find ways to give back,” event organizer Brandon Butler told Channel 2′s Fred Blankenship.

404 Day is Atlanta’s signature celebration of its creative culture. But Butler says it’s more than just a celebration. It’s also about giving back to the community.

“Everything we do is very much Atlanta focused, it’s Atlanta based but also again is a party with a purpose. We want people to come out and have a good time but we also want to pour back into the city,” Butler said.
