What's Going On In Atlanta: Weekend of May 11-13

Hey Guys! Welcome back to my channel!  The theme for the week is Music, Moms, and Mimosas, represented by Shaky Beats, Mother’s Day, and mimosas, respectively. Don’t worry - I’ve got some things for you even if you’re not into either of those things.

 

Pick a few things to do from this list and you’ll be your mom’s favorite kid in no time.

 

Note: If you are a repeat reader, you'll notice a few changes in the layout this week. There are no events for Thursday, May 10 (due to my procrastination) and no "ongoing events" in order to provide more variety.

 

Psst, Moms and Mom-Adjacent Guardians: You can get a FREE donut from Duck Donuts on May 13 just by showing up! (Roswell Road Location)
