Weekend Events: Things to Do Around North Atlanta May 8–10, 2026
Happy Mother’s Day weekend! 💐 As a mother-daughter team, this holiday is always extra special to us. While some moms may be celebrating with brunch and mimosas… we’ll be celebrating the way Realtors do best, hosting an open house together on Saturday! 🏡 Honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxing afternoon strolling downtown Alpharetta, a fun date night with live music, or somewhere to bring the kids and enjoy the spring weather, there’s no shortage of ways to celebrate. And if you’re in Roswell on Saturday, come say hello at our Open House from 12-2 PM at 345 Clear Creek Ct. We’d love to see you there!
Scroll on to start planning your weekend! Cheers to all the moms out there!
