6 Free Things To Do This Summer In Atlanta

By Laura DePeters @LaDePeters · On May 21, 2015

While there are plenty of things to do in Atlanta during the summer (Like Counter Point, Beer Festivals, and Concerts) there are many free things to do as well. Whether it’s free festivals or just a stroll in the park, you can enjoy many free things to do. Here are a few ideas on free things to do:

1. Walk, bike or run the BeltLine

With loads of entry points and attractions along the way, the BeltLine is packed with accessibility, fitness and all things Atlanta into a 22-mile trail.

2. Festivals

Decatur Arts Festival
Spring in Atlanta brings festivals-a-plenty across the city. Here are some free ones the whole family can enjoy: Atlanta Jazz Festival and Decatur Arts Festival.

3. A Picnic at Piedmont

5. Breweries

Did you know most Atlanta breweries are (technically) free? SweetWater, RedBrick and Orpheus all dole out samples.

6. Oakland Cemetery

Visit the oldest cemetery in the city, while enjoying one of the largest green spaces in Atlanta. Oakland is home to Atlanta notables Ivan Allen, Jr. and Margaret Mitchell.

    If you get bored with the above 6 things, you can always cruise over to the Southwest side of town and watch driveby shooting and carjackings

      Or stay in Midtown or the northside and watch people get high and steal.
