Things to Do in Atlanta This Weekend: Sep 25–27 City Guides
From Lucinda Williams' rootsy storytelling to the Atlanta Symphony's cinematic spectacle, this weekend spans folk-country authenticity, theatrical grandeur, and electronic experimentation across the city's most distinctive venues.

Lucinda Williams commands Variety Playhouse on Friday with the kind of lyrical precision that has defined her four-decade career, while just blocks away at the Fabulous Fox Theatre, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra transforms La La Land into a full orchestral experience. Between those two poles—intimate songwriting and sweeping orchestration—this weekend unfolds across genres that refuse easy categorization.
