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

Today we’re coming to you from ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­–Val’s Vinings Barber in West Village with our top 5 picks of things to do in and around Atlanta.

#5
Head to SunTrust Park to cheer on the Atlanta Braves as we take on the Miami Marlins in a 3-game home stand starting tonight at 7:20pm.

#4
Check out The String Cheese Incident at the Fox Theatre running tonight and tomorrow. This American band from Colorado, with its cult following, is on tour across the country through November.

#3
Take part in the Water Lantern Festival at Jim R Miller Park in Marietta on Sunday, starting at 6pm. This event includes food, games, activities, vendors, music and the beauty of thousands of lanterns adorned with letters of love, hope and dreams reflect upon the water.

#2
Prepare to laugh during comedian Dusty Slay’s stand-up routine at Punchline Comedy Club in Buckhead all weekend. Dusty grew up in a mobile home neighborhood in Alabama, and his observational comedy and optimistic outlook is peppered with ironies: growing up poor, a love for both hard-core country and classic rock, a career history peppered with jobs like waiting tables and selling pesticides.

#1
Venture over to Stone Mountain Park to take in their fireworks extravaganza. Experience the Lasershow Spectacular in Mountainvision® featuring music, animation, water effects, drones, and North America’s largest Fire Wheel, followed by an incredible patriotic fireworks display! 

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