Atlanta’s Southside is no stranger to star power, but on Sunday, August 31, 2025, the spotlight won’t just be on the music—it’ll be on the community. The 2nd Annual Southside Day, presented by Yung Joc, Torrey Tomlinson (Torrey 100), and Ray Daniels, is set to transform East Point City Hall into the ultimate block party.

From 2 PM to 8 PM, thousands are expected to gather for a celebration that goes beyond entertainment. With seven cities coming together, 1,000 families receiving resources, and civic leaders taking the stage, the day is shaping up to be equal parts festival, community rally, and hometown reunion.

A Stage for the Southside

Of course, no block party is complete without music—and Southside Day is bringing out some of the city’s most beloved voices. Yung Joc, known for his chart-topping anthems, will headline alongside fellow Southside heavyweights Mykko Montana, Dae Dae, Derez De’Shon, Rozay da Yungsta, and rising star AM Moni. And in true Atlanta fashion, fans can expect a surprise guest performance to close out the night.

More Than Music

While the performances will draw the crowds, the event’s heart lies in its commitment to giving back. Organizers are distributing 1,000 tablets and 1,000 bookbags, making sure families head into the school year prepared. A bill pay station powered by Atlanta Watershed will help ease financial burdens, and a mentorship sign-up booth for the Next Level Hustlenomics Program, presented by Next Level Boys Academy and Yung Joc, will connect young people with long-term guidance and opportunities.

Families can also enjoy a Kid’s Corner filled with games and activities, while music lovers get to test their skills in the fan-favorite Aux Cord Wars DJ competition. For those who love local history, NuFace’s Southside Legend Tribute Tent will honor cultural figures who’ve shaped the community.

Civic Pride on Display

One of the most unique aspects of Southside Day is its Civic Engagement Hour. Mayors from across the participating cities will step on stage to spotlight hometown heroes—everyday people making extraordinary impacts in their neighborhoods. It’s a reminder that Southside pride isn’t just about music and culture, but about the people who keep the community strong.

A True Citywide Effort

Southside Day 2025 is powered by a long list of media partners, sponsors, and local organizations. Streetz 94.5, home of Yung Joc’s morning show, is the official media partner, while Culturalist Theory will host the red carpet and Big Homie’s House podcast will broadcast live from the event.

Corporate support is also strong, with Walmart, Raising Cane’s, and Fetii joining as partners, and Red Bull providing the energy to keep the party going. Even rapper Gunna is lending a hand through Gunna’s Great Giveaway, ensuring families walk away with more than just good memories.

Free, Open, and For the People

Best of all, Southside Day is free and open to the public. For organizers like Yung Joc, Torrey 100, and Ray Daniels, that accessibility is the point—making sure every family can be part of the celebration.

“Southside Day is about more than music—it’s about unity, resources, and showing the world the power of the Southside,” the team shared. “We want families to leave feeling proud, supported, and connected.”

With star-studded performances, life-changing resources, and a strong dose of community pride, Southside Day 2025 promises to be one of Atlanta’s can’t-miss events of the year.
