Not only is a FreakNik documentary coming to Hulu but its legendary festival is also set to take place at Bonfire in Atlanta on May 7.

The iconic Spring Break celebration gained massive popularity throughout the 80s and 90s and its cultural impact has since caught the attention of Hulu executives. “FreakNik: The Wildest Party Never Told” recounts the rise and fall of a small Atlanta HBCU picnic that exploded into an influential street party and spotlighted ATL as a major cultural stage.

The celebrated albeit notorious event has seen a resurgence after 20 years as Atlanta-based promotional company After 9 Partners brought it back to life in 2019 as a celebration of the FreakNik of the 90s and has continued to stoke the public's interest through a series of community events and concerts.

Due to the pandemic, 2020 saw FreakNik Festival partner with City of South Fulton Mayor khalid, for a historic March on Old National, in response to the Black Lives Movement called "Black Fathers are D.O.P.E." or Dad's Overcoming Pressure Everyday. The following year FreakNik Festival hosted a free outdoor community event and in 2022 they partnered with 21 Savage for his star-studded FreakNik inspired Birthday celebration.

For 2023, After 9 Partners' FreakNik® Trademark has partnered with MetaWorks Platforms Inc., an award-winning, full-service Web3 blockchain platform provider, and MusicFX- its NFT, wallet, and ticketing platform partner to produce a live festival as a preview to future events under the FreakNik brand and to capture content for the forthcoming documentary.  

Created to radically improve the connection between musicians and their fans, MusicFX meshes perfectly with the positive works of FreakNik and its fans. Attendees can expect live music, interactive artist activations, vendors, and more through its event partnerships, including GA Followers and Cassie Cope Consulting.

Hosted at BonFire ATL, located at 1080 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, on Sunday, May 7th, from 3 to 8 p.m., tickets for the limited-capacity event will go on sale Friday, April 21st. A special after-party event will be announced in the coming days. Tickets are available online at https://freaknikfest.com. FreakNik is a 21+ event.
