Fulton County District 2 Vice Chair Bob Ellis in collaboration with the Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities (BHDD) presents the “Octoberfest” Fall Festival on Saturday, October 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the North Fulton Service Center, 7741 Roswell Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30350.

Octoberfest will be an inclusive event for District 2 residents to access free COVID-19 vaccines, behavioral health services, Fulton County programs, services, and other community-based organizations. Vice Chair Ellis will also serve as the official event host, which will include live music, wellness resources, food, family fun, giveaways, and entertainment.

In 2021, the Department of BHDD was awarded a $3.9 million federal grant from the US Department of Health & Human Services to provide resources to under-served communities, encourage COVID vaccinations, and offer access to behavioral health care. The grant was in response to the Biden/Harris Administration’s National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response & Pandemic Preparedness.  

In demonstrating its commitment to reaching minority populations in Fulton County, the Department of BHDD intentionally designed a community event related to COVID-19 prevention and behavioral health services.
