Kellie Pickler Performs at Avalon’s Grand Opening Event

Four days of events and fanfare in late October will mark the grand opening of Avalon, North American Properties’ (NAP) $600 million mixed-use development in Alpharetta, Georgia. Events will include music, family entertainment, chef demonstrations, musical headliner and more to introduce a carefully curated collection of shops and restaurants.  As you know Scoop has been very excited about the launch of Avalon and its impact on OTP shopping and dining.  We were so impressed with our behind the scene tour last month.

The concert is a part of a four-day series of events North American Properties is hosting to celebrate the grand opening of Avalon, a $600 million mixed-use development with a world-class collection of specialty retailers, entertainment venues, chef-driven restaurants, offices, single-family residences and luxury home rentals. A complete list of grand opening events and times can be found here.

“There have been so many reasons to cheer during this journey, but the grand opening will be the ultimate celebration,” said Mark Toro, managing partner at NAP. “We invite the community to help us celebrate, whether with yoga, trick-or-treating, fireworks or an indie concert. There is something for everyone at the grand opening and at Avalon.”
