Atlanta is in game mode this weekend. ⚾⚽🏀

The Braves face the Dodgers this coming week, Atlanta United takes on Charlotte FC this Saturday and the Atlanta Dream take on the Minnesota Lynx.

If you’re heading downtown, make supporting local part of your game plan. Grab a bite, shop nearby or stop into an Atlanta small business before or after the action. Big event weekends are a big opportunity to show up for the businesses that keep our city moving.

Shaky Knees is turning up Atlanta September 18–20.

Thousands of music fans, artists, crews and visitors will gather at Piedmont Park for three days of live music and festival experiences, creating activity that reaches well beyond the festival grounds.

Dragon Con is taking over Atlanta this Labor Day weekend.

From September 3–7, tens of thousands of fans, creators, performers and exhibitors will fill downtown for five days of cosplay, gaming, comics, music, art and community.
