After 20 years of bringing together health-conscious consumers and sustainable brands, Alive! Expo, Atlanta’s long-running natural products and green living event, will take a pause in 2026. Organizers say the decision comes in response to ongoing economic uncertainty, including tariffs and rising costs of products, production and raw materials.

“After speaking with many of our participating companies and sponsors, we learned that many are holding off on marketing and promotions for 2026,” says Patrycja Siewert-Towns, founder and owner of the event. “So, after 20 years of bringing the Alive! Expo to Atlanta consumers, we are sad to announce that we had to make a very hard decision and are putting the event—what would have been our 21st annual event—on hold for 2026. We hope to bring the event back in 2027 when and if the economic state stabilizes and small to mid-sized companies once again are able to participate in events like this.”

Alive! Expo, which is usually held in either April or May, will continue to promote natural brands and offers through its monthly email newsletter, website and social media channels to stay connected with its community.
