Four things to do around Atlanta this weekend, Dec. 18-20:
1. FEATURED
In a galaxy not very far away, you can catch the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens in a comfy local theater equipped to transport you to another world. [If you love movies, then you need our handy Atlanta movie-lovers guide for the full experience our city has to offer.]
2. FREE & CHEAP
Bring your camera to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens this Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and get a family photo with Saint Nick clad in his dark green robe and botanical head wreath. Pictures are free with admission or membership. [Come back that evening to experience "Garden Lights, Holiday Nights" to create a new holiday tradition with those you love.]
3. FOOD
Save up your holiday appetite for Sunday Beer-B-Cue at Three Taverns Brewery from 5 until 8 p.m. Kevin Gillespie's Terminus City BBQ will be serving up mouthwatering whole hog pork sliders while guests enjoy live music and complimentary Three Taverns beer. Tickets are $15. [Need more brew? Second Self Beer Company has several opportunities this weekend to meet your hoppy quota.]
4. FAMILY-FRIENDLY
The whole family can partake in Der Biergarten's A Very Merry Christmas Party this Saturday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. featuring cookie decorating, hot chocolate, a letter station for letters to Santa, games, Christmas decor galore and pictures with Santa from noon until 1 p.m. [This is the last weekend before Christmas. How many of these Atlanta holiday to-do's have you knocked off the list?]
