Typically, the live event — one of which has included a block party on Edgewood Avenue in 2014 — have amassed more than 2,000 attendees, according to the official Facebook page.

As a special celebration of the day, Atlanta-based producer Jermaine Dupri is DJing a virtual party on Instagram Live. He tweeted he won't be playing anything "but the stuff that made that A the way it is today."
Meanwhile Twitter users are joining the party.
