WE RECOMMEND THIS EVENT: Atlanta’s House in the Park is a musical exploration of the soul and a vision to see House Music become a unifying movement, transcending every strata of society – ethnic identification, race classification, age and lifestyle. DJ Ramon “Rawsoul” Guyton, the visionary behind Rawsoul Entertainment, and Kai Alce, the man behind record label NDATL, launched House in the Park in 2005, as a gift to the city and the community that supports the monthly music-social offering “The Gathering”. HITP adds much needed variety to the Atlanta music scene and features a range of House Music’s emerging local, regional, and international talents. DJ Ramon Rawsoul orchestrates this effort simply for the joy of bringing his favorite music genre to life in a tangible, meaningful way.

Start your planning soon for Atlanta’s 22nd annual #HouseInThePark Weekender – September 3-7, 2026! Check the official website for updates, announcements, ticket sales to enter, the 2026 park location & more at: www.houseinthepark.org.
