What's Going On In Atlanta: Memorial Day Weekend
What is there to do in Atlanta for Memorial Day? I’m glad you asked! Some bigger events are the annual Atlanta Jazz Festival and MomoCon, a large-scale anime/gaming/cosplay convention. If you’re into panels from your favorite voice actors and classes about everything from video game music to tabletop gaming, this con is for you.
ChooseATL is hosting 10 different block parties this weekend to show off different Atlanta neighborhoods. It’s free to register and attend! You can RSVP here!
Of course, there are a host of various fests and festivals going on - it is Atlanta, after all. Keep reading to learn more about the cool haps.
As always, keep providing feedback and let me know if you go to anything I’ve posted about. Tag #CeeWillTheTrill!
