Between miles-long lines at airports nationwide, an escalating war in the Middle East and — for shame! — ABC canceling the new season of “The Bachelorette” (our condolences to the Taylor Frankie Paul fans out there) — it’s been a week.
So there’s no better time for some levity and laughs, which aren’t in short supply in metro Atlanta this weekend and beyond.
😂 To start, there’s a long list of professional funny people who are set to come to town this spring, from Ali Wong and Gabriel Iglesias to Jeremy Piven (who knew?) and Sherri Shepherd. Get the full lineup here.
🌱 While the state of the world might feel a little wonky right now, at least the weather is showing up and showing out of late. Enjoy nature’s bounty at these spring festivals, including this weekend’s Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival.
🎸 There’s nothing like a little nostalgia to cure a sour mood, and Criminal Records in Little Five Points is leaning in hard. The record shop will host a Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special listening party at 4 p.m. Sunday. On Saturday from noon-8 p.m., the neighborhood will also play host to Little 5 Fest, a celebration of music, art, skate culture and creativity.
