Enjoy a performance at one of Atlanta's most historic venues, the Fox Theatre. The theater originally opened as a movie palace in 1929 and has been providing audiences with entertainment ever since. Presently, the venue books more than 300 performances annually, including productions from the Atlanta Ballet, Broadway touring companies, film series and various cultural events, and concerts by world-famous artists.

For fresh air, wide-open green space, and some of the most gorgeous trees in the city, head to Candler Park. Along with a large area of open, green space, the park boasts an outdoor playground, pavilion areas, a pool, walking paths, and lots more. Candler Park also hosts community events like CP Movie Nights every month, and a Fall Festival. Fans of running may want to look into joining the Candler Park Running Club to meet with other enthusiasts of the sport.

Head to an Atlanta nightlife favorite, and party at The Highlander. Since 1992, this bar has been a Midtown staple on the party scene. A full bar, live music, and a game room featuring air hockey, pool tables, pinball, and video games are all available here. The Highlander offers a casual environment and late night hours, often staying open until 3 - so plan to stay up late!
