Hey everyone! TGIF! It’s Jill with Petersen Partners | Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices in Atlanta.

Today I’m coming to you from Sushinobo in Smyrna’s West Village with our top 5 picks of things to do in and around Atlanta.

#5
Try Shakespeare’s Othello starting tonight at Marietta’s New Theatre in the Square. It’s a story of a general in the Venetian army, his new wife, and a manipulative man trying to drive them apart.  

#4
Doggy Con features a pet parade and costume contest, plus a vendor village of dog-centric goods and activities, a yappy hour social, and plenty of pup culture. Join us in paying homage to Dragon Con, one of the world’s largest pop culture conventions, while competing for drool-worthy prizes. From Harry Pawter to BatDog and Robin, there’s room for everyone at Doggy Con.

#3
Lace up your shoes and try the popular Area 13.1 Alien Half Marathon & 5K has an out-of-this-world theme at Riverside Park in Roswell.

#2
Kids go bonkers for the lovable puppies who prove that “no job is too big, no pup is too small” as they share lessons for all ages about citizenship, social skills, and problem-solving in Paw Patrol Live: Race to the Rescue at Fox Theatre.

#1
Don’t miss the annual Piedmont Park Arts Festival featuring 250 painters, photographers, sculptors, leather and metalworkers, glass blowers, and jewelers. It has artist demonstrations, live acoustic music, a children’s play area, and food vendors at Piedmont Park. Free.

Thanks for watching! See you next week. (Watch us on Facebook every Friday or catch us on IGTV).
