Youth Lagoon, Altar at the Masquerade
Boise-based musician, producer, and composer Youth Lagoon, aka Trevor Powers, is slated to perform at The Masquerade at the Altar on the 19th of April. The Lucy Take a Picture crooner is an experimental musician influenced by the visual works of artists such as Francis Bacon, Harry Clarke, and Sister Gertrude Morgan. If grotesque, experimental pop music is a preference, one might be in for a treat.
Food and Street Art Tour on the Beltline
Atlanta’s food and art are to die for. Whether one is in town only for the weekend or is a local looking to explore the city from a new perspective, they can join the guided walking tour of the Atlanta Beltline. Starting at 11 am, the tour is a sneak peek into the vibrant street art scene of the city, and the scrumptious southern cuisine paired with relaxed cocktails. The tour will also include a visit to the Krog Street Market – often considered one of the best food halls in the world.
The street art tour will also comprise activities such as a walk amongst the colorful murals of the city, a hunt for the “Tiny Doors” on the Krog Street Tunnel, and a chance to leave one’s own artistic flair on one of the many walls in the city. Tickets are available for $79 on the Discover Atlanta website.
Looking for a good time this weekend? Atlanta has everyone covered. The festivities start even a day early in some cases. So run, don’t walk, to one of these events and grab tickets before they sell out.
