Weekend Events!

Now that summer has kicked off and the weather is nice and hot, all the weekend festivals, activities, events, and fun begins!

Brookhaven Beer Fest: The festival will be held Saturday, June 11, 2011 from 3:00 - 8:00p.m. behind the Brookhaven Marta Station (on Apple Valley Road, like the Brookhaven Arts Festival). There will be over 150 beers to taste from, along with food, music, games, beer, and more beer. Get your $35 tickets today! ($5 off with promo code BAA) Ticket price increases to $45 at the event. Check us out- we will be there volunteering (pouring beer)! There will also be an after party at Hudson Grille/Mellow Mushroom immediately after the event until 2am.

Atlanta Streets Alive!: Saturday, June 11 10:00am - 2:00pm AND Saturday June 25 4:00pm - 8:00pm. A great event that many west coast cities have been doing for years- closing off main downtown streets to cars and allowing pedestrians and bikers only. You can go play in the street and walk (safely) to all your favorite spots! I love this idea. Atlanta Streets Alive will be closing off the 36 blocks (~3 miles, See MAP) which is the route of the proposed Atlanta Streetcar downtown. Find out more information on their website.

If you're interested in learning more about the summer events and festivities in and around your area (not just Brookhaven), check out this great new site we found HugeCity. A website (still in the works) that shows events/concerts/programs/restaurants/etc. by your location on a map. Pretty great idea! Of course we will be posting about local Brookhaven events as well as the summer and fall go on, but go check them out.

Have a great weekend!
