I’m excited to bring you a new category of blog posts…. Welcome to Darklanta. If it’s dark, unusual, quirky, edgy, weird, creepy, or a little bit rock n roll…. you’ll find it here! Get insight on things to do, people to meet, businesses to shop, and places to visit, in and around Atlanta… with occasional trips around the globe.
To kick off this new category, I thought I’d highlight some of this Summer’s events so you can start planning….
On Saturday, June 10, Historic Oakland Cemetery is hosting it’s annual Tunes from the Tombs music festival. Relax among the dead, and enjoy music from three stages, grab grub from a variety of food trucks, and shop at the artist market. This is an all ages festival. Event runs from 12-8pm, and tickets can be purchased via the website.
On Saturday, July 29 head to Virginia Highlands for the 8th Annual Atlanta Zombie Pub Crawl. Join the undead for a night of costume and booze as they crawl through five of Virginia Highland’s most popular bars! Ticket packages include professional zombie make up application to help get you ready. Already skilled in the art of zombie make-up?… then the event is free!
Are you a sexy living dead girl?? Get dolled up zombie style, snap some photos, and enter the Atlanta Zombie Pin-up Girl Contest. Photo entries must be submitted by July 17. Full rules are available on the website. Three winners will be selected on July 29 during the Zombie Pub Crawl.
Head back to Historic Oakland Cemetery all summer long for the Malts & Vaults of Oakland… Enjoy a guided walking tour of the cemetery while learning about the history of brewing beer in Atlanta. After the tour, enjoy samples of local brews. Event takes place June 18, July 08, and August 19. A different local brewery will be featured each night. Buy tickets via the website.
Mark your calendars!!
Hope this helps start your summer off on a wonderfully weird note!
