| - Freaknik (/ˈfriːknɪk/; originally Freaknic) is an annual spring break festival in Atlanta, Georgia. It is primarily attended by students from historically black colleges and universities. It began in 1983 as a small picnic in a public park near the Atlanta University Center sponsored by the D.C. Metro Club for students who could not afford to return home for spring break. It continued as an annual event held during the third weekend in April. The event increased in size and popularity in the 1990s, incorporating dance contests, concerts, parties, a basketball tournament, rap sessions, a film festival and a job fair. The Atlanta magazine called it Atlanta's most infamous street party. In 1999, actions by the police and elected officials caused celebration of Freaknik to cease. A revamped version returned for one day on June 22, 2019 as "FreakNik Atlanta '19 - The Festival" with a concert at Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood. As of 2020, it was set to move forward as a three-day event centered around artists performing. Originally "Freaknic," the name of the event is a portmanteau of "picnic" and "freak," in accordance with the D.C. Metro Club's 1982-1983 theme "The Return of the Freak". (en)

L'événement cessa en 1999 à la suite de trop nombreux problèmes engendrés par un encadrement des forces de l'ordre beaucoup trop répressif voire coercitif au yeux des organisations étudiantes. Étape importante dans la construction de la culture afro-américaine étudiante des années Bill Clinton, la Freaknik fut le lieu d'expression de toute une génération de musiciens issus du courant rap East Coast, hip-hop et des cultures urbaines américaines. Too $hort, André 3000, MF Doom, Lil' Kim, Dogg Pound ou encore August Alsina y font référence dans leurs textes. (fr)
