Four things to do around Atlanta this weekend, Feb. 20 & 21:

1. FEATURED
Roll in the weekend with some soul at the 12th Annual Atlanta Blues Festival at the Fox Theatre. Tickets range from $52.50 to $75. [Dinner and music make for a great Friday night. Where does The New York Times think you should be eating in Atlanta?}

2. FREE & CHEAP
Go on a Winter Owl Prowl this Saturday night during a guided night hike while taking in the nocturnal sounds of the Chattahoochee River. Free to attend but reservations are required. [With spring around the corner, you might want to break back in your hiking boots on these beginner-friendly trails.]

3. FOOD
We've found our favorite Atlanta dish of the week. Will it be yours too? [If you have a sweet tooth, you won't want to miss these delicious Atlanta donut shops.]

4. FAMILY-FRIENDLY
