DULUTH
Romeo Santos at the Arena at Gwinnett Center
They call him the King of Bachata. Santos, the former lead vocalist of boy band Aventura, is no stranger to selling out arenas. It’s largely due to his hit disc “Formula Vol. 1.” The tour of the same name continues on a new leg, which includes this Duluth stop. Expect oodles of cooing Juliets, each wishing he was their respective Romeo. Santos will surely perform “Promise,” the duet he recorded with Usher. Here’s hoping the Atlanta resident makes a surprise appearance.
8 p.m. April 20. $50-$90 plus Ticketmaster fees. Gwinnett Arena, 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth. 800-745-3000.
JONESBORO
Native American Heritage Day at Stately Oaks Plantation
A replica of a Creek Indian village comes to life for this celebration of Native American history. The smell of traditional grub, including venison stew, will be wafting in the air as guests jump into an interactive experience. This includes visitors firing blowguns and trying their hands at finger weaving. Other sights to see include basket weaving and pottery demonstrations, and a trapper trader with his wares. Native American dancers show their time-honored steps, and storytellers share tribal legends. Kids can participate in games Native American children enjoyed eons ago. If your own personal tribe gets hungry, remember treats including lemonade and corn on the cob will be for sale.
