Memorial Day weekend is around the corner and there’s more in town than families coming over for and going to the pool. Sure, those are things that we could do every year but what about doing something different this year? Atlanta has things for every holiday so why don’t you go out and explore?
1. Stone Mountain Park
Stone Mountain Park has different things from a special show that celebrates the men and women who fought for our country, those who are currently fighting and their families. It also kicks off a very nice laser show and fireworks! It happens the entire weekend leading up to Memorial Day.
2. Atlanta Jazz Festival
Throughout the month of May, the Atlanta Jazz
Festival captivates the fans of Jazz by celebrating the history of the art. The
festival has performances from Jazz legends and up-and-coming Jazz musicians
who want to get their music out there. The festival ends with a huge concert on
Memorial Day, which would be May 29th. And the best thing that any college student
loves to hear is that it’s FREE!!
3. Decatur Arts Festival
During the weekend leading up to Memorial Day, Decatur has a festival down by the square which has food, music, comedy, children’s parade, literary events and more!
4. DC Super Friends at Six Flags
Any college student like myself loves to go to Six Flags whenever they get the chance, so why not during Memorial Day? This kid attraction features the SUPERMAN Tower of Power where you can unleash your inner superhero, The Bat-copters, where you can help keep Gotham safe with Batman himself, and more!
5. Callaway Gardens
During the Memorial Day Weekend, bring your family down for their annual Water Ski and Wake-board tournament, water activities and more. Even after it gets dark, they will have movies, music, and fireworks.
Now that you can see what's here in Georgia, why don't you save the cookouts for Independence Day and swimming for summer? Get out there and have fun!!
