Mom’s Weekend, Mapped Out: Mother’s Day in Atlanta

/in /by

For the one who usually makes the plans, Mother’s Day weekend is her turn to simply show up and it’s no surprise that Atlanta is delivering across the board. We’ve mapped out the experience by how she actually celebrates, from the adventurous mom looking for something interactive to the one who never says no to a complimentary cocktail, plus the tables that define a proper Mother’s Day brunch and gifts she’ll reach for long after the weekend ends.

Think free axe-throwing and brunch at SKOL Brewing Company, an afternoon at the Chastain Park Arts Festival, and standout experiences at the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta, Amore e Amore, and TWO urban licks. Thoughtful gift picks like Jittery Joe’s Mama’s Boy blend round it out for something a little more lasting. However she likes to spend the day, this guide makes planning a breeze.

SKOL Brewing Company
