Cooler temperatures (and the likelihood of rain) shouldn't curtail a good time Thursday.
Let us recommend some musical theater, an art show and why not risk an outdoor concert?
Kesha and Macklemore at Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood
The show goes on at Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood, rain or shine, so jump in, for the love of Kesha and Macklemore. According to AJC pop music writer Melissa Ruggieri, "The duo, who perform on the song 'Good Old Days' on Macklemore's latest album," are in the midst of a nine-week, 30-market tour together.
