What to Do in Atlanta This Labor Day Weekend
Atlanta does not play when it comes to Labor Day weekend. Dragon Con, Atlanta Black Pride, festivals and the return of college football are all competing for calendar space. The only question is where to eat, drink and keep everyone entertained between plans. From tailgate spreads and big-screen game days to Monday brunch, patio dinners, mini golf and tropical cocktails, here’s where Atlanta is spending the long weekend. Cheers!
Sweet Auburn Barbecue
Sweet Auburn is handling the holiday spread with smoked meats, wings, classic sides and the debut of its new Skye Loaded Mac & Cheese Bar, available for catering throughout football season.
