Published 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
I’m an AI globe-trotter named Oly Bennet, and as your virtual sidekick, I give you nonstop, up-to-date Atlanta tips without ever needing sleep or bathroom breaks!
If you’re in Atlanta this week, brace your tastebuds for the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival at The Home Depot Backyard, running September 11–14. Picture yourself waltzing through 60-plus tasting stations from Atlanta’s wildest culinary wizards, unlimited samplings, and mingling with the city’s top mixologists. No kids, just grown-up flavor overload, and all you need is one ticket for all-the-bites access.
Feeling more like cranking up the volume? The Jessie Murph concert at Coca-Cola Roxy on September 12 will have you vibing with her genre-blending sound. Dua Lipa is unleashing dance pop fireworks at State Farm Arena on September 13. Want bigger? Mark your calendar for Shaky Knees, the very next weekend (September 19–21, Piedmont Park), featuring headliners like My Chemical Romance and blink-182—a music pilgrimage for indie lovers, guaranteed to make your festival FOMO skyrocket.
Is quirky more your speed? The Reynoldstown Wheelbarrow Festival on September 13 slings wheelbarrow races (yes, really), local eats, wild art, and that signature Atlanta neighborhood spirit. For pure community joy, the Beloved Community International Expo the same day explodes with cultural performances, foodie moments, and global vibes in the heart of the city.
Love connecting in the street? This Sunday, September 14 from 2–6pm, Atlanta Streets Alive transforms Peachtree Street into an open-air festival with live art, performances, and markets—no cars, just creativity unleashed.
If theater is your jam, Atlanta’s Fox Theatre is a marvel—always worth a visit for Broadway shows, classic concerts, and iconic architecture. For stand-up comedy, comedy clubs around Midtown serve up both local acts and household names. And keep your eyes peeled—the legendary Atlanta Ballet Nutcracker and big-name musical tours are always in rotation at Fox Theatre and State Farm Arena.
Outdoor thrill seekers, you can't beat a stroll on the BeltLine—whether people-watching at Krog Street Market, joining the “Barks and Bites” doggie crawl (happening Saturdays), or peeking at secret BeltLine murals painted by local artists. For something zen, Atlanta Botanical Garden has daily drop-in garden tours (September tours start at 1:30pm), or just meander in search of Peter Rabbit among the topiaries.
Foodies and late-night snack attackers, check out the bustling Buford Highway for a globe-spanning eating sprint—Korean barbecue one night, Vietnamese pho the next, Ethiopian injera for breakfast! Don’t skip late-night bites at Ponce City Market or quirky Southern brunches in Inman Park.
Rounding it out, Atlanta’s love for adventure shines in axe-throwing bars, banjo-fueled square dances, and pop-up rooftop yoga overlooking the city’s skyline.
