BeltLandia Weekender, May 20th – 22nd

Behold the fabled ring of fire

Behold the fabled ring of fire

Greetings fellow BeltLandians!

Out with the Shaky Knees and in with the Shaky Beats – fair warning, you can probably expect the streets to be jammed with Uber and Lyft carpools galore (again) this weekend.

If music festivals aren’t quite your cup of tea, surely the three Bs are – Beer, bourbon and barbecue, of course! Scoot on over to Atlantic Station for some good eats and libations on Saturday.

For a hot time in the city, you definitely want to make time this Saturday for Old Fourth Ward’s Fire in the 4th, voted best new festival by Atlanta Magazine last year. When was the last time you got to see some live fire-eatin’, anyway?

Now if that doesn’t pique your interest, we probably can’t be friends. JUST KIDDING. There is a whole list of primly-picked events below for you to peruse.

No matter what you do this weekend, plan to pack your rain jacket. It seems we have a wet weekend ahead of us. Have fun, be safe, and enjoy!
