Yes, school has started for most of us, yet it’s definitely still summer outside. There’s something more simple, yet refreshing about this time of the summer when we’re back to a more sane schedule, yet there’s plenty of daylight, warm weather and fun to be had. With that in mind, I thought it would be nice to look into some of the great, late summer events happening around Westside Atlanta that you may want to enjoy with your friends and family.

Paint Nite at Atlantic Station – The popular Paint Nite is coming to Central Park at Atlantic Station. This is a chance for the whole family to paint together – al fresco – as the instructor, Ms. Pink walks students through the step-by-step for creating their own masterpiece. For more info and reservations visit: www.paintnite.com/.

Throwback Thursdays at Monday Night Brewing – Monday Night Brewing’s West Midtown location is open for Throwback Thursdays where $12 gets you a new pint glass and six tastings. They have a great patio and laid back atmosphere perfect for enjoying late summer evenings. The West End location, called the Garage, is showing Back to the Future tonight!

Bolton Road Farmers Market – This month and next are the absolute finest for fresh produce! In Riverside, the Bolton Road Farmer’s Market is the best place to shop for local, farm-to-table fare. As you would expect, local farmers and gardeners set up booths to sell their items, along with a great selection of handmade artisan crafts. The best part is seeing this wonderfully diverse community supporting the local economy. Check out the market each Sunday 11am – 2pm. For more info visit: www.boltonroadfarmersmarket.org.

Beltline Sunset/Sunrise Hikes– Are you more of a sunrise or sunset hiker? Either way, there is one of each happening on the Beltline Trail this month. Saturday, August 25th there’s a sunrise hike taking off from Washington Park. On Friday night, August 31st, also here on the Westside, there’s a sunset hike taking off from Gordon White Park. You can view the entire list of events at: www.beltline.org/events/.
