Atlanta's Vibrant Summer: Music, Art, and Endless Discoveries
Published 9 months, 1 week ago
Description
Listeners planning a trip to Atlanta this week will find the city bursting with unforgettable activities that blend music, art, sports, outdoor fun, culture, and great food. Kick off your visit by soaking up the skyline and smooth beats at the RnB in the Park Tour at Piedmont Park, where celebrity DJs, signature cocktails, and performances usher in a sea of good vibes perfect for R&B enthusiasts and festivalgoers. If you’re in town today, cap off your evening at Sunday Night Blues with the ATL Blues Cartel, also happening tonight, or immerse yourself in Intimate Acoustic Music—Between Dreams Sessions.
For those wanting a visual treat and some adrenaline, head over to Stone Mountain Park for Summer at the Rock, running daily through July 27. This classic Atlanta adventure includes a cable-car Skyride, a dino meet-and-greet for families, a full-sized locomotive train, and a dazzling nighttime drone and fireworks show. Come July 21, guests can join a complimentary semi-private shuttle tour around the park, departing at 3 p.m.—an ideal way to discover both legendary sights and hidden gems within the sprawling grounds.
Fans of live sports can book a guided tour of Truist Park, home to the Atlanta Braves, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the press box, Hank Aaron Terrace, and more. Those interested in Atlanta’s deep cultural roots should reserve a spot on the Martin Luther King Jr. History Walking Tour, a highly rated, condensed walk that takes listeners from the MLK Jr. Historic Park to the vibrant Krog Street Market and the iconic Atlanta BeltLine public art corridor.
The Atlanta BeltLine is a hub for foodies and art lovers alike. Every Saturday through the fall, the Food and Street Art Tour invites guests to sample culinary delights from Inman Park’s best eateries while exploring colorful murals and installations. For a unique local twist, check out Barks and Bites: Doggie Crawl on the BeltLine, where your pup can join you on a guided tasting adventure, with multiple dates running through December.
No Atlanta visit is complete without savoring its food and drink scene. The White Oak Kitchen’s 13th Anniversary offers special events now through August 13, perfect for those who love Southern cuisine with modern flair. Also, the Stone Mountain Village Pop-Up Market, open this week, blends shopping with local food stalls and crafts. Flower Power, a flower-arranging workshop open through September at a local venue, lets creative tourists get hands-on.
For a break indoors, Aurora Cineplex’s $3 Summer Family Flicks lets listeners catch all-ages classics in an air-conditioned theater—ideal on a sweltering Georgia afternoon. Over at the Georgia Aquarium, Glow Nights offer an evening thrill as the galleries come alive with brilliant lights, interactive displays, and after-hours surprises for all ages.
Atlanta pulses with creativity and hospitality, from Civil Rights tours and the Jackson Street Bridge’s film-famous city views to hidden markets, rooftop drinks at Virtue, or exploring plant-based pop-ups and vibrant neighborhood festivals. Art and history fans can explore annual events like DISCOVER ADAC, and if you want to give back, consider future festivals like SanSe Atlanta, which supports Latino families and features Puerto Rican music, food, and culture.
