September 4, 2026

Happy Labor Day Weekend! With an extra day to enjoy, there’s plenty of time to get out and explore North Atlanta. We’ve rounded up events happening all weekend long, including Monday. ☀️ It’s going to be a hot one, but there’s some relief in sight with cooler weather headed our way next week!

And if you’re looking for something fun tonight, Gail and I are heading to Fried Chicken & Friends at The Café at Scottsdale Farms! Come join us! And bring the kiddos too as there are goats, pigs, and chickens oh my! 🐐
