Events - Atlanta on the Cheap

The Atlanta On The Cheap Events Calendar

Check back often, because we update every day!

Take a look at our guide to 2020 spring festivals -- it also includes other spring-themed events, including spring markets, yoga in the park, outdoor music and movies, nature walks, Easter egg hunts, and more!

Double-Check Before You Head Out!

We're as excited as you are when we find a great event or deal! But events change. Bargains sell out. Weather is unpredictable. Special offers may vary by location. And many venues reserve the right to change hours and prices without notice. Sometimes, we may even make a mistake in a calendar listing. Please, verify all deals and events before you go. We don't want you to be disappointed!
