From the Brookhaven Brunch Fest to various Veterans Day parades, here are our suggestions for things to do throughout metro Atlanta this weekend:
Honor military veterans for their service at one of several parades and events that will occur throughout metro Atlanta this weekend. The 35th annual Atlanta Veterans Day Parade will kick off in downtown Atlanta at 11 a.m. on Nov. 12. The night before, the 17th annual Veterans Day Lighted Parade will depart from Douglas County High School at 7 p.m.
Several of the vendors who appeared at the Atlanta Brunch Festival earlier this year will head to Brookhaven Park for the Brookhaven Brunch Festival on Saturday.
"We all love brunch, so this event will celebrate some of the best restaurants in the brunch game, as well as your favorite brunch beverages: Bloody Marys, mimosas, beer and wine," a message from event organizers reads. "We learned a lot in March, so this event will have more bars, more bartenders, and more restaurants to keep the lines to a minimum."
Noon. Nov. 12. $25 (general admission, including 1 food ticket), $75 (11 a.m. entry, unlimited drinks, VIP food tent and 3 food tickets). Brookhaven Park, 4185 Peachtree Road, Brookhaven. Brookhaven Brunch Festival Info.
Much like Sia, pop music's favorite identical twins Tegan and Sara reinvigorated their careers by delivering music for a more mainstream pop audience.

Singer and drummer Sheila E. will lead a small party at Center Stage Theater when she plays the venue on Nov. 12. Expect a tribute to Sheila E.’s frequent collaborator and friend Prince during the show.
