Atlantans may anticipate the typical warm-weather antics in the upcoming months, such as waiting in long lines at Six Flags looking for a pool nearby or visiting one of the top ice cream shops in the city, but that’s not all. A number of significant events will also be happening, including music festivals, pop culture conventions, an epic road race, and a fresh interactive pop-up experience. Here is our list of cool things to do in Atlanta today and the whole summer season. 

Experience a higher level of drinking at one of the city’s best rooftop pubs

There will be many large-scale drinking events for you to attend over the duration of this summer, including the Atlanta Summer Beer Festival, the Alpharetta Brew Moon Fest, the PeachNik Mimosa Festival, and the 5th Atlanta Summer Wine FestivalHowever, one way to raise even your most basic drinking experiences is to visit one of Atlanta’s renowned rooftop bars.

To tackle food insecurity, join the largest team in Atlanta

The Falcons, Hawks, Braves, and Atlanta United are all outstanding in their own right, but this summer, you’ll get the chance to play for Atlanta’s top team and contribute to the fight against food hunger in the entire city. Six 90-minute sessions of meal packing will take place on July 16, 2022, as part of the Million Meal Pack, a one-day project sponsored by State Farm and the Atlanta Hawks.

Anyone aged five and older is welcome to join the team of volunteers to help make meals for local Atlantans in need. You are welcome to stay for a post-volunteer celebration with games, refreshments, music, and so on.

The summer festival season is when you can live events near me. Fortunately, local music lovers of all stripes won’t have to go far to attend some of the best events.
