Hi there,
Spring has fully arrived on the BeltLine, and this weekend is giving us all the reasons to get outside. We've got an Easter weekend full of things to do, from salsa dancing at The Shed to eco printing at the Botanical Garden to brunch with live saxophone on the patio. There's something for everyone, and most of it is steps from the trail.
Scroll down for your weekend event roundup, a brunch guide to bookmark, and a little something for anyone who's been dreaming about a lake escape.
Let's get into it.
xoxo, Holly 💛

This Week’s Sponsor
Lake Oconee Life
Need a Reset? The Lake Is Calling.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is get out of the city for a weekend. Lake Oconee is just about 75 miles east of Atlanta — close enough to do on a whim, far enough to actually feel like you left.
Whether you book a room at The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds (yes, one of the only lakefront Ritz-Carltons in the world) or rent a VRBO and do the whole dock-and-grill thing with your crew, or maybe pitch a lakeside tent at Old Salem, Lake Oconee Life is your go-to guide for making the most of your time out there, restaurants, events, things to do, all of it covered at lakeoconeelife.com.
And when you're ready to come back to the city, or just need a break from the sun, we'll be here. Our event calendar and dining guides are ready whenever you are.
