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
