Things to Do in Atlanta This Weekend
Start the year off by experiencing something new this weekend! Here are our favorite events picked for this weekend.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra at Spivey Hall, Saturday
The music of Glenn Miller has an unusual sound. Combine that with the perfect sound affects at Spivey Hall, and you get a concert that is sure to have your toes tapping. And really, who doesn't love Challanooga Choo Choo?
Garden Lights at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Saturday
This is the last night for this annual light show at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. It is particularly unusual that the magical sound of frogs in the conservatory(温室) is not from a recording. That magic is coming from the real frogs that live there. If it's no too crowded, stop along the way, close your eyes and just listen.
Children's Workshop: Egyptian Hieroglyphs(象形文字), Saturday
Does your child dream of becoming a historian when he grows up? If you answer “yes”, you will want to take him to the Michael C. Carlos Museum. Participants will learn how to read and write ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs from Egyptologist Annie Shanley. Children will have an opportunity to discover the meaning of hieroglyphs on tomb reliefs and statues.
Colin Mochrie at Dad's Garage Theatre, Saturday and Sunday
Set the tone for a great 2017 with laughter. Colin Mochrie comes to Dad's Garage Theatre and brings his lightning-quick creativity and humor.
