Cape Day 2026: A Metro Atlanta Celebration of Hope, Courage, Love, and Community
💚🧒🏽💚👦🏻💚
Friday, October 23, 2026, is Cape Day across Metro Atlanta, and families from Decatur, East Atlanta, College Park, and surrounding neighborhoods are ready to celebrate the superhero patients at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. These amazingly incredible kids face some of life’s scariest moments with strength, hope, and perseverance, and Cape Day is a joyful way for our community to honor each and every brave child.
Cape Day is more than a fun tradition of thirteen years and counting. It is a very powerful reminder of courage, kindness, and unity. Whether your family participates at home, at school, and/or out in the community, your cape helps lift the spirits of children who are fighting big battles we could not even imagine with superhero hearts.
