From the start of the Atlanta Film Festival Friday to a T.I. performance at the Cleveland Cavaliers game, there's no shortage of activities planned this Spring Break weekend in Atlanta.
And luckily, the Georgia Department of Transportation plans to limit road work to overnight hours to offset increased holiday traffic.
Here’s everything you need to know about traffic, events and weather on this weekend:

T.I., Atlanta Film Festival, Stand Campaign
T.I. is taking a break from his Las Vegas residency to perform for an expectantly sold-out crowd at theAtlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers game Friday.
T.I. will take the court during halftime at the game, which starts at 8 p.m. Friday at the Philips Arena.
An estimated 18,000 people are expected to watch the Hawks take on LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
And for those more inclined to watch a movie than a basketball game, the 40th annual Atlanta Film Festival, hosted by the Atlanta Film Society, begins Friday and continues through April 10.
Festival tickets range from $10 a screening to $800 for people looking to join the Atlanta Film Society and get a 10-day pass to the festival. There are also a few free events, including a live concert at Ponce City Market and a Sunday screening of HBO's "Confirmation" starring "Scandal's" Kerry Washington.
And for those looking for something to do Saturday, an estimated 25, 000 people are expected at a prayer event the Conrad Evangelistic Association is hosting as part of its Stand Campaign. Doors open at 11 a.m., and the event begins at noon Saturday in the Georgia Dome. It will last through 4 p.m.
