Where: 241 20th St, Atlanta, GA 30363
Cost: $25-$75
What: 21+ nighttime event with roller skating and lots of food trucks and bar vendors at Atlantic Station! This event tends to sell out and some attendees mentioned long lines at their summer event, so it could be worth looking into VIP tickets at this event or going on the earlier side.
