Are you looking for something to do this weekend?
July may be coming to an end, but there are still plenty of things to do this summer metro Atlanta. Whether you're looking to attend a concert, or take a trip down memory lane with former Braves players this weekend, we've got you covered.
Here are five things to do before you head back to work on Monday:
More than 35 downtown restaurants will offer prix-fixe menus for $15, $25 and/or $35 starting July 23 through the end of the month. JP Atlanta, Legal Sea Foods, Fire of Brazil, No Mas! Cantina, McCormick & Schmidt's are among the list of participating restaurants this year.
Braves fans will have an opportunity to meet a few of the former players that helped the team get to the World Series in 1991 this weekend. John Smoltz, Sid Bream, Francisco Cabrera, Mark Lemke and Charlie Liebrandt are just a few of the players who will sign autographs, take pictures and participate in a Braves Legends Game this weekend.
Events will take place at various times throughout the weekend and players might not be there all three days.
The first 20,000 fans who visit Turner Field on Saturday, July 30, will receive a 1991 National Leage Championship Series replica ring.
