16 Best Things to Do in Atlanta August 2023 with Kids
School is starting in Atlanta, but that doesn't mean summer fun is over! August in Atlanta is a great time to enjoy outdoor movies and concerts, summer festivals, and cool events.
Family calendars are heating up in Atlanta! August brings fun family events like Slip-N-Slide Extravaganza in Roswell on August 5 and the always popular Dinosaur Birthday Bash at Fernbank on Saturday, August 19. Every August, the City of Kennesaw parties with the community at its yummy event, Pigs and Peaches BBQ Festival, which includes music, a kids' zone, and delicious barbecue (August 18 & 19).
Even as kids head back to school this month, there's still time for summer enjoyment on the weekends.
