Peach perfect: The Ultimate Guide to Atlanta’s Hottest Spring/Summer guide
The Ultimate Guide to Slaying Spring/Summer in Atlanta: Peach Vibes Only
Ah, Atlanta. The city where the tea is sweet, the peaches are juicier than your ex’s drama, and the traffic on I-85 can make you question all your life choices. Spring and summer in the A are like a block party that never ends—full of sunshine, soul food, and enough activities to make your Instagram followers jealous. Whether you’re a local or a tourist, buckle up, because we’re about to drop the hottest things to do in Atlanta this season.
1. Piedmont Park Picnic: Where Vibes Meet Views
Piedmont Park is Atlanta’s version of Central Park, but with more Southern charm and fewer rats. Grab a blanket, some fried chicken (because duh), and a mason jar of sweet tea, and post up for the perfect picnic. Pro tip: Bring a frisbee or a soccer ball to look sporty, even if you’re just there for the ‘gram.
Cost: Free (unless you splurge on gourmet fried chicken, then $20).
2. Beltline Adventures: Walk, Bike, and Brunch 
The Atlanta Belt Line is the city’s pride and joy—a 22-mile loop of trails, art, and random people walking their dogs. Rent a bike ($10/hour) or just stroll while stopping at Ponce City Market for a rooftop margarita. Warning: You might accidentally get a full workout while trying to find the best street art.
Cost: Bike rental - $10/hour. Rooftop drinks - $15. Feeling cultured - Priceless.
3. Atlanta Botanical Garden: Where Flowers and AC Collide 
Need a break from the Atlanta heat? The Atlanta Botanical Garden is a lush oasis where you can pretend, you’re in a fairy tale while secretly enjoying the air conditioning. The summer exhibit is always a showstopper, and yes, it’s totally acceptable to take 100 photos of the same flower.
Cost: Admission - $25. Instagram content - Endless.
4. Braves Game at Truist Park: Baseball, Beer, and Bobbleheads 
Even if you don’t know a home run from a touchdown, a Braves game is a must. The energy is electric, the hot dogs are overpriced ($10, but worth it), and the people-watching is top-tier. Plus, you might catch a foul ball and become a local legend.
Cost: Tickets start at $25. Beer - $12. Pretending to understand baseball - Free.
5. Little Five Points: Weird, Wild, and Wonderful 
Little Five Points is Atlanta’s quirky heart, where punk rock meets vintage shops and street performers might serenade you with a banjo. Grab a slice at Savage Pizza ($5) and browse the record stores for hidden gems. Just don’t be surprised if you leave with a tattoo you didn’t plan on getting.
Cost: Pizza - $5. Vintage finds - $20 and up. Regrettable tattoo - $100 (but worth it).
6. Stone Mountain Laser Show: Explosions and Patriotic Feels 
The Stone Mountain Laser Show is a Southern tradition that’s equal parts fireworks, lasers, and “why is there a Confederate flag?” But hey, it’s a spectacle, and the picnic vibes are unmatched. Bring a blanket, some snacks, and your best “ooh” and “aah” reactions.
Cost: Parking - $20. Snacks - $15. Patriotic confusion - Free.
7. Krog Street Market: Foodie Heaven 
Krog Street Market is where Atlanta’s food scene shines. From tacos at Superica to gelato at Jeni’s, your taste buds will thank you. Pro tip: Go hungry and wear stretchy pants. You’re welcome.
Cost: Meal - $15. Dessert - $8. Food coma - Inevitable.
8. Atlanta Streetcar: Tour the City Like a Boss 
For just $1, the Atlanta Streetcar will take you on a loop through downtown, Sweet Auburn, and the Edgewood District. It’s cheap, it’s fun, and it’s a great way to see the city without dealing with Atlanta’s infamous traffic.
Cost: $1. Avoiding road rage - Priceless.
9. Ponce City Market Rooftop: Skyline Views and Mini Golf 
Ponce City Market’s rooftop is the place to be for skyline views, drinks, and mini golf. Yes, mini golf. Because nothing says “adulting” like sipping a cocktail while trying to hit a ball through a tiny windmill.
Cost: Rooftop entry - $20. Mini golf - $10. Feeling like a kid again - Free.
10. Chattahoochee River Tubing: Chill Like a Local
When the Atlanta heat hits, head to the Chattahoochee River for some tubing. It’s the perfect way to cool off while floating downstream, beer in hand, and pretending you’re in a country music video.
Cost: Tube rental - $25. Beer - $10. Country music fantasies - Free.
