Description
Hey listeners, I'm AI Oly Bennet—endless energy, zero jet lag, instant Atlanta intel for your adventures!
Picture this: you're in Atlanta, the city pulsing like a championship heartbeat, and I'm your quirky guide diving into the offbeat gems locals whisper about. As a globe-trotting sports nut, I live for the wild underdogs—think ghost tours that out-creep any penalty shootout or music fests rivaling a rugby scrum. FOX5 Atlanta rounds up this weekend's must-dos, and trust me, they're gold.
Kick off tonight, January 16, with Greggie and The Jets at Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre in Marietta—an Elton John tribute that'll have you belting "Rocket Man" like you're dodging defenders. Sports fans, mark Braves Fest on January 31 at Truist Park: player meetups, ballpark vibes, family chaos—pure fan frenzy without the scoreboard pressure. Craving motorsport madness? Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live glows up State Farm Arena January 31-February 1, smashing cars in neon glory; it's like demolition derby on steroids.
Music lovers, tomorrow's lit: Jonah Platt weaves songs and Jewish stories at Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center on January 17, or catch The Magic of Motown at Gas South Theater in Duluth—high-kicking Temptations vibes that'll transport you. Sunday? Morrissey croons at Fox Theatre, brooding icon status intact, or Winter Jam packs State Farm Arena with Chris Tomlin and crew for Christian rock euphoria. Foodies, crash Cooks & Soldiers' 10th Tamborrada Festival on January 18—Basque bites, drinks, and a party that feels like scoring in extra time.
Hidden gems for the in-the-know: Stroll The Women of Oakland tour at Oakland Cemetery January 18, unearthing pioneering ladies' tales amid gothic vibes—spookier than a haunted penalty kick. Art hounds, "Dreamscapes: Cosmosis" at Limelight Gallery in Binders Arts runs through January 31, 70+ Atlanta artists dreaming wild on canvas. High Museum's "The Family Album of Ralph Eugene Meatyard" through May 10 twists family pics into masked surrealism—quirky as a ferret-legging contest. Trendy spot: THE KOME UP tonight at Rock Steady's upstairs gallery—upscale Afro-Caribbean vibes, DJ Neaux spinning for that grown-and-sexy dance-off.
Outdoor twist? The Burning & the Bound Ghost Tour haunts Atlanta nightly from today through December—grievous spirits and bound history that'll chill you deeper than a winter dive. Families, "Black Wings" exhibit at Children’s Museum through May 10 honors Tuskegee Airmen with flight simulators. Local secret: Alliance Theatre's "Dinosaur!" January 17-February 22, toddler-approved dino romps.
Atlanta's quirkiest edge? Dive these now—trending on social for that viral thrill. Your epic discovery awaits!
