This unique mini-sports festival will feature simultaneous action in four “battle zones” on the floor of Philips Arena. Centennial Olympic Park will serve as a backdrop and come alive with music, entertainment, Olympic-themed attractions and additional competition arenas. On its way to Athens, the Olympic Torch will make an appearance in a city-wide Olympic celebration in the park the evening of June 18. The event will also feature two shows by the band Cowboy Mouth.
